All good things come to an end. For us fans of the Donald Westlake/Richard Stark Parker crime series, Dirty Money is the last in the series of 24. I read them all.

Dirty Money is the third of a modern trilogy starting with Nobody Runs Forever followed by Ask the Parrot. Yes, suggest that you should read them in order

Here’s what makes the Trilogy series different than the earlier Parker series: first is women in roles important to the story, and second is technology. In the earlier series, technology played no meaningful part in Parker’s crimes and police attempts to capture him. There were no cell phones, Internet, online police cars, online credit card fraud checks, problems transporting weapons, and few cameras.

Most importantly in the older series, Parker easily remained anonymous living off the proceeds of the last job (not all of them succeeded). Parker would return to work only when he needed money. He recognized the risk of his profession–separating other people from their money–and was the consummate professional managing the risk of capture.

In Dirty Money, Parker’s identify is blown and he goes to great length (and expense) to establish a new identity. So we learn how new identities can be created (it is difficult and expensive), and how “Dirty Money”–marked money–is laundered for a fee. Millions of marked money is useless…unless it can be laundered.

Parker is the consummate pragmatist. In Dirty Money, we learn another side of Parker: He decides to do business with people who previously tried to kill him (they eventually regretted it) because there is something in it for both of them. They’re mutually suspicious of course. A form of honor among thieves works for Parker because he thought through incentives for both sides to be true to their word.

Back to the story…there are the usual killings. It part of the job. Carried out without emotion or hesitation. Parker is not a psychopath…but he’ll be extremely violent if required.

I regret that this is the end of the series. Dirty Money is a great story and perfect way to finish a lifetime of crime novels. Richard Stark, RIP.

Review #2

Dirty Money audiobook in series Parker

This is a standard review for the University of Chicago published Parker series by Richard Stark. Overall the quality of the stories is very high. They are tightly plotted with dialogue fitted to the voices of the different characters. The descriptions of places and objects are brief but clear and connected to the characters’ perceptions.

Now the negatives: These stories average about $9.99, and I expect that some editing must have been done to warrant so high a price for what are rather short novels. There are egregious editing errors in every book in the series, some with only a few, most noticeably the first four books in the series. The rest have over a dozen spelling and grammar errors that were no doubt due to the OCR scanning process on the original books/manuscripts. The software just can’t identify certain words and doesn’t always fix hyphenated words back to whole words. Having the choice all over again, I would look for the paper backs and read those. The books just aren’t worth the $9.99 average price.

For this specific book, I found the story to be awesome. This was the final story written by Richard Stark, and I like how there isn’t an ending to Parker’s story, that he just goes on being the amoral predatory that we respect but do not love. If you can get past all the con’s I mentioned above, you will want to buy this book.

Audiobook Dirty Money by Richard Stark

This is the twenty-fourth and final volume in Richard Stark’s excellent long-running series featuring Parker, a cold, amoral, methodical criminal. Parker was almost always involved in a gang of crooks that had been pulled together for some specific job, usually a robbery of some sort. In each of these capers, it always turned out that some of the gang members were more dependable than others; there was usually a weak link or a turn of bad luck somewhere along the way, and Parker would have to scramble, using all of his resources, to save himself and as much of the loot as possible.

Parker was always the most competent and often the deadliest man among the thieves and others he partnered with. He did what needed to be done, and if that involved leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, well then, that was just what the job demanded. No hard feelings.

Along the way, Stark (a pseudonym for master crime writer Donald Westlake) took an extented break from the Parker books between 1974’s Butcher’s Moon, the sixteenth book in the series, and 1997’s Comeback, the seventeenth. The earlier books tended to be leaner and cut closer to the bone. The later ones are not quite so spare and Parker might be just a tad softer. They are still a lot of fun, but the first sixteen are grittier and generally better.

In the twenty second book, Nobody Runs Forever, Parker and his confederates knocked over an armored car that was carrying a little over two million dollars from one bank to another. But the law moved in so swiftly that the gang could not get away with the money. They were forced to stash it in the choir loft of an abandoned rurual church.

In the twenty-third book, Ask The Parrot, Parker is still struggling to save himself in the days after the robbery, and Dirty Money takes place shortly thereafter. Things are still hot; the cops still have roadblocks up searching for the robbers, and they are circulating sketches of the criminals.

To make matters worse, it turns out that the serial numbers on all of the bills the gang stole had been recorded. One of the robbers, Nick Daliesa, attempted to pass one of the bills and was caught. He then killed a deputy marshal and escaped again. Parker knows if Dalesia is caught he will try to trade the stolen money, or worse the identity of the other gang members, in order to obtain leniency.

As much as he hates to do it, Parker must return to the scene of the crime in an effort to recover the money and deal with his ex-confederate before Parker himself is compromised. To make matters worse, a female bounty hunter now inserts herself into the situation, demanding a share of the loot.

It’s a lot of fun watching Parker jump from one crisis to another in an effort to keep his life from going completely off the rails, especially when he knows that, even under the best of circumstances, the money will be worth only ten cents on the dollar. A harsher man than I might argue that the book could have been a bit tighter, more along the lines of the earlier entries in the series, but that would be a small complaint and I’m certainly not going to make it at this point.

I put off reading this book for over two years, simply because I couldn’t bear the thought that I would never have another fresh Parker waiting for me, and I hated getting to the last page. The book itself may rate four stars, but the series overall is five stars all the way. It’s one of the best crime fiction series ever published and I’m already looking forward to starting it all over again.

Review #4

Audio Dirty Money narrated by John Chancer

The bank robbery did not go exactly as planned. They have the money, but it is hidden in the milddle of an area where the police are searching for the robbers. One robber got caught, because the numbers of the notes were known to the cops. Such money, which the cops have the numbers for, is called “dirty money”.

Like all the Richard Stark Parker series, excellently plotted and written. Some readers may be offended that Parker, cold-blooded robber, ready to kill when necessary, able to recover seamlessly from unexpected setbacks, gets away with it. Some may wonder whether his girlfriend Claire is a remotely credible character. But for me, personally, it is so well done that none of that matters. I am amazed that Stark can also write as Westlake, whose characters, while still criminal, are written so humorously that they seem to inhabit a different world from Parker.How can one person manage two such different feelings when recounting fairly similar plots? I am awestruck.
