Richard Stark: Deadly Edge (USA 2010)

From the Publisher:
Deadly Edge bids a brutal adieu to the 1960s as Parker robs a rock concert, and the heist goes south. Soon Parker finds himself -- and his woman, Claire -- menaced by a pair of sadistic, drug-crazed hippies. Parker has a score to settle while Claire's armed with her first rifle -- and they're both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius.

"Richard Stark's Parker novels ... are among the most poised and polished fictions of their time and, in fact, of any time." -- John Banville, Bookforum

"The Parkers read with the speed of pulp while unfolding with an almost Nabovokian wit and flair." -- Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times
