This is how this book starts. The novel is volume 20 of a series of 24, written over a span of 4 decades since the 1960s. All of them start with a similar sentence. When that happened, Parker was just doing this…

That opening habit is the only such mannerism in Stark. The rest is always original, even when each book is about a robbery or more than one.
Crime goes with time. Parker finds it more and more difficult to fill short term small cash needs… Cash has largely gone out of use. More and more cyber crime happens, and ‘normal’ heists need to add know how of the cyber world to stay ahead of security. The need to involve people with such special knowhow doesn’t please Parker. These nerds are risk factors.
In the process, Parker must change his style. He must become more patient with fools and amateurs. That is not good for his perfectionism. He is the planner, the strategist, but mastery of the universe escapes him now.

The subject in Firebreak is a break into the hunting lodge of an Internet mogul… Why go there at all? Not for the golden appliances, those would just cause logistics trouble, but for the hidden vault with art treasures below the lodge, in a basement. Actually, there are paintings that some of the gang had stolen before already, a few years ago from a museum. But how will they sell the goods?
That heist is disturbed by interference from the malevolent past, brought on by hackers. Parker has to force his way of life on a new world. Brave.

Review #2

Firebreak audiobook in series Parker

Richard Stark (an alias for Donald Westlake) compiled a terrific series of noire crime drama, with the no-first-name Parker as the protagonist, set in the mid-60’s. Parker is an unusual character: he’s a criminal, but no sociopath. He steals to make a living. He kills only when necessary (and sometimes doesn’t when it really is necessary). Stark’s writing is elegant and spare, compelling and fabulous. After compiling a list of a dozen or so books, He returned to the character in the late 1990’s, a wonderful opportunity fior his fans.

But the world had changed. Cash – Parker’s usual goal in the earlier books – is much less available. Credit cards and ATMs mean that payroll trucks are mostly gone, and the police are using new methods to catch crooks. Parker adapts, and in this book, turns his attention to artwork being hidden in a billionaire’s “hunting lodge” in Montana. An unusual caper for him, but carefully thought out. Parker remains the epitome of his kind. I read this particular story in one sitting because it was a real page-turner, but I’ve saved it and will re-read it to enjoy thye prose of the fabulous author.

Audiobook Firebreak by Richard Stark

Firebreak starts with Parker being hunted by professional assassins. Parker is contacted by his friend Elkins about a possible job, but must first get himself free of the threat.

Getting free of the hunt is complicated. Parker must first learn who is after him, neutralize them and them discover who paid them to hunt him. This is a long and detailed process full of action and intrigue. Parker encounters major opposition and the result is brutal.

Second, one of the people involved in the new job is hindered by being on bail and needing to wear an electronic “cuff”. Lloyd had been betrayed by a partner in a previous job and must be cleared before he can help (he is the electronic genius needed for the new job.

Finally, the new job is to break into a fortified mansion in the wilds of northern Montana. The mansion property contains a lodge with millions of dollars of paintings secured in a heavily fortified vault area. Parker and his crew must break thru the outside security (electronic and armed guards). They must also overcome the protective alarms and break the security codes that keep the artwork in a three room vault with a steel door. The vault is built in the solid rock side of a mountain.

Firebreak is full of action and violence. There are several sub-plots involving the owner of the art, the police forces, and two competing criminal groups – one seeking revenge and the other trying to steal the art from Parker’s team. This fast paced crime novel is entertaining and I highly recommend it.

Review #4

Audio Firebreak narrated by John Chancer

Not the strongest in the series by far. A pretty good story although it wandered around a bit, but my biggest criticism as someone who has read them all on order, is that at the dawn of the digital age Parker seems to have gone soft. The early Parker had rules. And those rules would have kept him from going anywhere near the scheme described in this one. Coupled with a very hard to believe plot element that brings back some antagonists from his past who are being sheltered by someone they victimized and the whole storyline just didn’t come across as credible. I don’t know. Maybe Parker should have stayed in the 60s. The dot com version here didn’t really do it for me.

I think I’ve read all the others and this one does not come close to any of the rest. Maybe Stark’s style evolved or maybe someone wrote this for him. Stark’s classic style is lean and muscular – this was kind of bloated. Too many characters, the action too intricate. All that said, if you’re a fan you should not miss this one so you can say, as I can, that you read them all.

Parker is a career criminal who is essentially amoral The book follows him through the planning and execution of a crime as well as his interactions with his fellow criminals. We are not used to having as the protagonist a thief who kills those who cross him without remorse. It is unusual but induced me to read all of Stark’s books. A very different read.
