The good guys in a new African nation were missing a treasury full of diamonds. The nation's corrupt leader had stashed the rocks somewhere in New York City. Now the good guys needed a specialist to get their diamonds back. So they came to the best in the business: Parker. Only the three mysterious tough guys came to Parker, too. They figured three hands filled with .38s could convince him to pass up this international gem game. But leaning on Parker was like pressuring a box of TNT with a short fuse.

Steel-nerved master thief Parker has his eyes on a fat prize. The prize, a slow stuffed with money—a gambling casino on the Hudson River. It is not in Parker's nature to gamble, so he leaves nothing to chance. From the phony politician to the getaway boat, from bringing guns on board to getting the money off, Parker has it all planned. There are only a few problems.

Racing through the backwoods of Massachusetts and on the verge of being taken down for one of the biggest and most disastrous bank heists the state has ever seen, Parker runs right into the barrel of a gun pointed from the wrong side of the law. A quiet and angry recluse with only a silent parrot for company in his seclusion, Tom Lindahl saves Parker from the police dogs, but enmeshes him in yet another in a long line of dubious, highly dangerous, but seriously profitable jobs.

Maffiasyndikatet hade sina tentakler ute över hela landet och var en stor, mäktig och farlig organisation. Ingen som man sticker upp mot precis... Men den hårde ensamvargen Parker är inte som alla andra. Istället för att ligga lågt varnade han syndikatet och bad dem att lämna honom i fred. Men de lyssnade inte. Och Parker varnar bara en gång. Nu skulle syndikatets ledare få betala med sitt liv... Richard Stark är pseudonym för den berömde amerikanske deckarförfattaren Donald E. Westlake (1933-2008).
