The Hunter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780226770994)

She shot him just above the belt and left him for dead. Then they torched the house, with Parker in it, and took the money he had helped them steal. It all went down just the way they'd planned, except for one thing: Parker didn't die.

In The Hunter, the first volume in the Parker series, our ruthless antihero roars into New York City, seeking revenge on the woman who betrayed him and on the man who took his money, stealing and scamming his way to redemption. The volume that kickstarted Parker's forty-plus-year career of larceny--and inspired the 1967 motion picture Point Blank, starring Lee Marvin--The Hunter is back, ready to thrill a new generation of noir fans.
