Like most of the Parker novels by Richard Stark (Donald Westlake’s pseudonym for this 24 book series), Nobody Runs Forever (2004) is about a life of crime gone wrong and right again and wrong again. Parker, the hero (or anti-hero – you’ll decide), is a “heister”. He’s slick and very cool and smart and ruthless and not the usual lead in a crime story because a heister is a professional thief and in Parker novels the cops are the antagonists and crime usually pays. Maybe that’s why Parker hasn’t been portrayed correctly on the big or small screen often – in fact, the only film adaptation I’d recommend is Point Blank (1967), based on the Parker novel The Hunter (1962), directed by John Boorman and starring Lee Marvin, and that one changed Parker’s name to Walker and was good, but a box office dud. Personally, when I am reading a Parker novel, I hear Humphrey Bogart as Parker and that’s who I saw/heard while reading Nobody Runs Forever and its two sequels: Ask The Parrot (2006) and Dirty Money (2008). So if this sounds interesting to you, check out Parker. Now to the main reason for this review: I thought someone should warn readers that unlike other Parker novels, these final three books in the series should be read in order because they really are a trilogy and the last time we’ll meet Parker by Richard Stark. Donald Westlake and his many aliases died in 2008.

Nobody Runs Forever audiobook in series Parker

I have read most of the Parker novels so I obviously liked them, but this was the worst. Stark peoples the story with some interesting characters, but they have nothing to do with the story. For example he gives us police officer who is a beautiful woman and he describes her physical traits in length. She adds sex appeal but that has absolutely nothing to do with the story , He does the same with a Dr. who has little to add to the narrative. Then there is the ending that made me want to get my money back and decide never to waste my time on another Stark book. There is no ending. It just stops. I checked my Kindle and went back to see if it was really over. Stark does not finish the story. It reads like he had written enough pages to call it a book and stopped writing.
Yes I could use my imagination to finish it, but if I am going to do that I don’t need Stark’s book.

Review #3

Audiobook Nobody Runs Forever by Richard Stark

The Parker books are some of my favorites. I was thrilled when Stark’s original books were reissued by Hardcase and bought them all…and then he started writing them again. A true anti-hero, Parker is cold and ruthless, but in such a straightforward way that you never feel hostility you might feel for a character who was pretending they were actually human. It’s like watching a lion take down a gazelle, you feel bad for the gazelle but the lion is just being a lion. In this one Parker is strapped for cash and lining up a new job when one of the crew turns out to be a snitch. Parker handles that issue, but now that job is compromised and he is still low on funds. Desperate he takes on another project with a group of amateurs. This is not the best of the series, an the plot is a little un-Parkerish (read unprofessional) but it is still a fun read. but, don’t start here, start at the beginning with The Hunter.

Audio Nobody Runs Forever narrated by John Chancer

Nobody Runs Forever is a well written crime story with a complex suspenseful plot. The story is a heart stopping adventure with continuing complications for Parker and his friends.

The story begins with a game of seven card stud. Each participant has been invited but knows few of the other members. The concept is to get them acquainted over poker so they are comfortable doing a job together. Unfortunately one of the people is found with a “wire”. The offender is removed and the party breaks up and everyone goes home.

Later Parker is invited by one of the former card players to join a crew for a different and special job. Parker is reluctant. The plan originated with the wife of a rich banker who has sold his business to a larger institution. The smaller bank must transfer its records and assets to the larger bank many miles away. The transfer is to be accomplished using four armored trucks and a fleet of police.

Parker’s reluctance comes from the involvement of amateurs. The wife and her boyfriend, neither having experience, devised the plan and expect to be involved. Parker joins the team, against his better judgment, on the condition that the wife and boyfriend obtain air-tight alibis and not directly participate in the robbery. They can both get their share of the loot, but must be above suspicion for the safety of the entire team.
Several complications plague the action. First, a bounty hunter surfaces hoping to find the informer from the earlier card game. Second, a very clever female police officer becomes suspicious of Parker and begins to hound him. Third, the bankers wife and boyfriend begin second guessing Parker’s plan. Parker continues with the plan but becomes wary. He wonders if he can escape with his hide, let alone profit.

Nobody Runs Forever is an excellent novel. In this story Parker almost appears to be in over his head, from being hunted by a bounty hunter to being tracked by police dogs,
the reader wonders if he can survive. This book is full of suspense, intrigue, detailed action and precise descriptions. It is well written, with fast paced excitement. Richard Stark’s novels just keep getting better.

According to the list of novels at the beginning of the book, Nobody Runs Forever is the 26th installment in Richard Stark’s series featuring professional thief Parker. In this outing, after one heist has to be aborted during the early planning stages, Parker falls in with an acquaintance who’s got a line on another job: the transfer of assets from one bank to another during a merger, coupled with some insider information, provides an opportunity for a big haul. The book follows Parker and his associates through the preliminaries to the heist, a few weeks during which they have to scout out locations and get their hands on weaponry and put out a number of fires–calming squirming accomplices, threatening others who don’t follow directions. Throughout, Parker remains smart and cautious and deadly serious about his work. We also follow developments from the perspectives of a number of characters on the periphery of the main action, including a police woman who is suspicious of Parker’s claim that he’s a landscaper.

After having read this book and Ask the Parrot, which is the next in the series (see my review), I am eager to read all of them. They are smart and well-written and provide a fascinating look at crime from an unusual perspective, that of the cold-blooded professional. We learn very little about Parker as a character except that he is good at what he does, yet we don’t come away from the book thinking him two-dimensional. He is rather unknowable. It’s also interesting that so much of the book is cerebral. The focus is on the planning of the crime. Its execution is almost anticlimactic. Again, somehow this works.
