I found this to be one of the best books I have read recently. It was an informative yet humorous depiction of the siege of Leningrad; well written,easily read & hard to put down. I have become eager to read more of David Benioff's writing.

Today's cold rainy weather required a special kind of escape. Perhaps an old Cagney or Bogart movie; or maybe Edward G. Robinson or George Raft. Maybe I should read something by Stephen King or Elmore Leonard. Happily, I turned to Richard Stark and once again neither he nor the amoral Parker disappointed... but then again they never do.


The Hunter (aka Point Blank / Payback) (Parker, Bk 1)
Review Date: 10/9/2009


A fast-paced,well-written,enjoyable short story introducing Parker: the wrong man to cross. I couldn't put it down,& will definitely look for more works in the Parker series!
