{"product_id":"9780226771069","title":"The Handle : A Parker Novel by Luc Sante","description":"Parker, the ruthless antihero of Richard Stark's eponymous mystery novels, is one of the most unforgettable characters in hardboiled noir. Lauded by critics for his taut realism, unapologetic amorality, and razor-sharp prose style - and adored by fans who turn each intoxicating page with increasing urgency - Stark is a master of crime writing, his books as influential as any in the genre. The University of Chicago Press has embarked on a project to return the early volumes of this series to print for a new generation of readers to discover - and become addicted to. This season's offerings include volumes 7-9 in the series: \"The Seventh\", \"The Handle\", and \"The Rare Coin Score\". In \"The Handle\", Parker is enlisted by the mob to knock off an island casino guarded by speed-boats and heavies, forty miles from the Texas coast.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56227592569205,"sku":"9780226771069","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780226771069.jpg?v=1762249450","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780226771069","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
