The Sour Lemon Score audiobook in series Parker
Just because you’re having a bad day doesn’t mean things can’t get worse. This is how Stark ends chapter three:
(The heist is successful, but the take is only $33,000, split four ways)
“You know what kind of day this is?” Weiss said. “I’ll tell you what kind of day this is. The kind of day this is, we’ll come down off this hill a couple days from now, the government will have devalued the dollar. How much is singles and fives?”
“Maybe a thousand,” Parker said.
“Another two hundred fifty dollars bye-bye,” Weiss said, and Uhl shot him in the head.
… which really gets the ball rolling. Every Parker novel can be read once as a fast-paced pulp thriller. Read a second time, they reveal Stark as a classicist: teaching in a restrained and clear-eyed way the virtues of restraint and clear-sightedness:

Audiobook The Sour Lemon Score by Richard Stark
One of the most frequent recipes in the Parker series is a robbery that is successfully executed, but is then followed by mishaps, usually due to the greed or inadequacy of one or more of the “string” of professionals put together for the occasion. Parker is his usual (rather predictable, cartoonish) self and, mainly because of this, after a while, the stories tend to become repetitive in what is essential for holding the readers’ interest in the characters and in the plot. The Sour Lemon Score is a very welcome exception to this: the successful robbery followed by mishaps is certainly there, at the beginning of the book; but after this interlude the plot becomes a tale of hunting and revenge, where the characters (and even Parker himself!) are developed by the author with unusual richness and depth, without this interfering even for a second with the pace and suspense of the narrative. The result is a gripping and violent story, exceptionally well-told, and completely freed of the déja vu effects present in some of the previous (and subsequent) books of the Parker series. Whatever you think of the Parkers, do not miss this one: an exceptional read!

Audio The Sour Lemon Score narrated by John Chancer
Donald Westlake, writing as Richard Stark, pens the Parker books, about a professional thief. Parker is rational – he doesn’t kill unless necessary to protect himself, he agrees to robberies when he can plan the caper himself, and once he has decided on vengeance, he gets vengeance no matter how long it takes. The books should be read in order. The character does grow, and the plots of earlier books are referenced in later books. Westlake is a wonderful writer; his characters are varied and interesting. If you like Parker, try the Dortmunder novels for a change of pace.

Free audio The Sour Lemon Score – in the audio player below
Stark continues to explore variations on the theme. In “Sour Lemon” the heist and the double-cross occur in the first three chapters. Parker spends the remainder of the story tracking down the traitor, George Uhl. This proves difficult because the guy is relatively new to the trade and few of the regulars know Uhl and where to find him. Parker soon discovers that someone else is on their trail, bumping off Uhl’s contacts in order to find Uhl and the money before Parker. Parker leaves an unusual number of bodies alive in this outing – maimed but alive – and Stark throws in a clever bit of payback at the very end.
