(Short answer: Nothing good.)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Richard Stark's Parker novels are the hardest of hard-boiled, classic crime novels where the heists are huge, the body counts are high, and the bad guys usually win. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Parker novels have been a huge influence on countless writers and filmmakers, including Quentin Tarantino, Stephen King, George Pelecanos, Colson Whitehead, Lucy Sante, John Banville, and many more. Their stripped-down language and hard-as-nails amorality create an unforgettable world where the next score could be the big one, but your next mistake could also be your last. There's nothing else like them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bank robberies should run like clockwork, right? If your name's Parker, you expect nothing less. \u003ci\u003eThe Sour Lemon Score \u003c\/i\u003efinds Parker wrapping up a heist where everything has gone right. But then one of his partners gets too greedy for his own good. The four-way split following a job leaves too small a take for George Uhl, who begins to pick off his fellow heisters, one by one. The first mistake? That he doesn't begin things by putting a bullet in Parker. That means he won't get the chance to make a second. One of the darkest novels in the series, this caper proves the adage that no one crosses Parker and lives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eRichard Stark \u003c\/b\u003ewas one of the many pseudonyms of Donald E.
