The heist went down while the people prayed. An angel walked with sagging shoulders - he was Parkers inside man, dressed in wings and robes and destined to be a problem. An hour later, Parker, Liss, and Mackey were out in the shimmering heat of a stadium parking lot with four duffel bags full of cash. Then the double cross began.Now the half-million-dollar robbery of a Christian crusade is drawing a crowd of cops, crooks, and the evangelists own unrelenting security man, a tough ex-Marine who trusts nobody and nothing. What began at a gathering of the faithful has moved into the realm of night. Here every move has a countermove, every man is on his own, and every lie leads to the deadliest moments of truth

Parker, a professional thief, is on the run after a country town bank robbery goes wrong. There are road blocks everywhere and search parties with bloodhounds are in the woods. As they close in on Parker he is confronted by a local with a shotgun. But this citizen is not out to arrest him; he wants Parker to help him with his own nefarious plans...

Even Parker makes mistakes. Locked up in a prison from which no one has ever escaped, its only a matter of time before the law uncovers his real name - and his extensive criminal past. To get out, Parker must take on the only accomplices he can find - yet his fellow convicts demand a price: help with another job. Their plan has too many weak links. And Parker isnt a man who likes complications. But with a big potential payoff and no other options, Parker is willing to chance it, just this once.

Only one thing could drive master thief Parker to return to the scene of a crime - the bags full of cash he was forced to abandon when his last heist turned sour. The race is on to reclaim the loot, before dark forces on both sides of the law can swoop in for the kill.Masquerading as a choir, his gang is anything but holy, and Parker, remorseless as ever, will stop at nothing to redeem his prize

When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man. He makes it in time to pick up the call - and is immediately dispatched to Montana on a new job. This time hes in for a mighty haul, but he has to work with a new, unknown accomplice - the only man who can crack a formidable security system. With broken promises and bodies piling up behind them, one question remains: Is there enough room in this heist for both men to come out alive?

Melander likes to do things flashy. When Parker finds himself working with Melander on a bank heist in a mid-sized midwestern city, his job is throwing a Molotov cocktail into a gas station. The resulting explosion sends the cops and fire trucks to the east side of town, while Melander and his gang plunder the bank on the west side. But Parker doesnt care for Melanders plan for a new heist, one that will clean out Palm Beach of a lot of very expensive jewelry. What Parker really dislikes is Melanders intention to use the proceeds from the bank job to capitalize the Palm Beach job... including Parkers cut. Melander is very polite about Parkers disinterest, and very sincere about paying him his share... with interest... after the jewelry job goes down. But thats not the way Parker works. Now hes tailing the gang down South, with a plan for getting his own back... and the entire swag of gems besides.

La Organización ha puesto precio a su cabeza y Parker toma una decisión radical: contacta con un cirujano plástico clandestino y cambia de rostro. Despues no tarda de volver al trabajo: organiza el robo a un furgon blindado con varios viejos conocidos. Es un golpe aparentemente facil, pero las cosas no tardan en complicarse: la novia de uno de los miembros de la banda es quien ha dado el soplo sobre el furgon, pero Parker sospecha que planea traicionarlos, y de pronto aparece por alli el chofer del cirujano, porque alguien lo ha liquidado y Parker es uno de los sospechosos… Y es que no es facil huir del propio pasado. "OLVIDENSE DE TODAS ESAS TONTERIAS DE LAS QUE INTENTAN AUTOCONVENCERSE SOBRE GUERRA Y PAZ O PROUST… SON LOS LIBROS COMO ESTE LOS QUE DE VERDAD QUERRIAN LLEVARSE A UNA ISLA DESIERTA". LAWRENCE BLOCK

Parker era un profesional. Cada uno de sus trabajos era garantía de éxito. No importaba cuán difícil o peligroso pudiera ser: si conseguía reunir un buen equipo y los beneficios eran razonablemente elevados, no habia banco o caja fuerte que se le resistiera. Incluso bajo las condiciones mas desfavorables, su sangre fria y su falta de escrupulos pasaban por encima de cualquier obstaculo que se interpusiera en su camino. Por ello, cuando su mujer y sus socios creyeron que seria una buena idea traicionarle y huir con su ultimo botin, cometieron sin saberlo el mayor error de sus vidas. Peor aun: cuando le dispararon a quemarropa para acabar con su vida, deberian haberse cerciorado de que, efectivamente, Parker jamas seria capaz de levantarse de nuevo para cumplir la mas sangrienta y cruel de las venganzas. A quemarropa, publicada por primera vez en 1962, no solo es una de las obras cumbre de Richard Stark (seudonimo de Donald E. Westlake), sino que ha acabado convirtien-dose en un titulo imprescindible de la literatura criminal norteamericana.
