Now fake IDs and credit cards had to be purchased from specialists; increasingly sophisticated policing made escape and evasion tougher; and, worst of all, money had gone digital--the days of cash-stuffed payroll trucks were long gone.\u003c\/p\u003eBut cash isn't everything: \u003ci\u003eFlashfire\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFirebreak\u003c\/i\u003e find Parker going after, respectively, a fortune in jewels and a collection of priceless paintings. In \u003ci\u003eFlashfire\u003c\/i\u003e, Parker's in West Palm Beach, competing with a crew that has an unhealthy love of explosions; when things go sour, Parker finds himself shot and trapped--and forced to rely on a civilian to survive. \u003ci\u003eFirebreak\u003c\/i\u003e takes Parker to a palatial Montana \"hunting lodge\" where a dot-com millionaire hides a gallery of stolen old masters--which will fetch Parker a pretty penny if his team can just get it past the mansion's tight security. The forests of Montana are an inhospitable place for a heister when well-laid plans fall apart, but no matter how untamed the wilderness, Parker's guaranteed to be the most dangerous predator around. \"Like all of Stark's Parker novels, \u003ci\u003eFirebreak\u003c\/i\u003e is a brutal yet compelling glimpse into the amoral world of crime and revenge.\"--\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e \"The action  in \u003ci\u003eFlashfire\u003c\/i\u003e] is nonstop. . . . The awful fascination in these Parker tales comes from knowing the protagonist will always do whatever is necessary to protect himself and to achieve his goals.\"--\u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226770628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Richard Stark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635224277148,"sku":"9780226770628","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b8c07d4d-76b9-49fd-8c25-129d4565204a.jpg?v=1603838926","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/flashfire-a-parker-novel-9780226770628","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
