Book description
The book that inspired the major new film, starring Jason Statham and
Jennifer Lopez.
Parker is a thief with a unique code of ethics: Don't steal from
people who can't afford it and don't hurt people who don't deserve it.
When he is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead, Parker is set
on revenge. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance
with a woman on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's
latest heist, and put right what they took from him.
'invariably well-written, exciting and hugely entertaining.
Stark's crisp, convincing dialogue is as good as Elmore Leonard's' The
Times.
