{"product_id":"richard-stark-flashfire-9780226770628","title":"Flashfire","description":"An action-packed crime novel starring Parker, the heister starring in the forthcoming Shane Black film Play Dirty!\n\u003cp\u003eRichard 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween Parker's 1961 debut and his return in the late 1990s, the whole world of crime changed. 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\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut cash isn't everything: Flashfire (which was the basis of the Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez film Parker) finds Parker going after a fortune in jewels in West Palm Beach. He's unexpectedly competing with a crew that has an unhealthy love of explosions, and when things go sour, Parker finds himself shot and trapped-and forced to rely on a civilian to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - acceptable","offer_id":53421594870102,"sku":"9780226770628-B","price":8.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780226770628_1_45b4f540-96bc-49b9-b66a-08db463ea90d.jpg?v=1778073842","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/richard-stark-flashfire-9780226770628","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
