	Bookreporter.com - BREAKOUT by Richard Stark
		Stark takes the section and relegates Parker to a secondary character in his own book, focusing instead on a minor character in each of the chapters in this section.
		Stark isn't fooling around here for grins and giggles --- every word of what happens is important --- but in the space of a little less than 80 pages he accomplishes what it took Thornton Wilder a full novel to do in THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY.
		I had the feeling that Stark did it this way as a means of exercising his creative muscles, as a way of challenging his abilities, the way an Olympian weightlifter will throw a couple of extra quarters on the bar when he already holds the gold.

	The Hunter by Richard Stark reviewed by Brian Thornton
		Richard Stark, the most famous of Westlake’s collection of literary avatars; the sort of grim, unsympathetic linear thinker whose imagination could in turn conceive of the other of these embryonic characters: the single-named Parker, a decidedly singular thug, and anti-hero of Stark’s highly successful crime series.
		Where Stark broke new ground in the early 1960s was in his treatment of the morally ambiguous Parker himself.
		It is a testament to the ability of Stark to tell a good story that this bare-bones plot works as well as it does, and although the premise seems a bit shop-worn to jaded eyes reading this book over forty years after its original publication date, the fact is that it still does work.

	Bleeker Books - Richard Stark
		Richard Stark's master thief Parker is none of those things.
		Stark is, of course, a pseudonym of Donald Westlake, who under his own name has written a string of thrillers in a somewhat lighter tone (in one, the ill-fated Dortmunder gang bases their plan on a (nonexistent) Parker novel!).
		Stark has also written a number of novels about Alan Grofield, a thief/actor who appeared in a couple of Parker novels before getting his own gig.

	Richard Stark Nobody Runs Forever Reviewed by Terry D'Auray
		When mystery Grand Master Donald Westlake writes as Richard Stark, his stories take a definite noirish turn to focus on criminal protagonist Parker, a shrewd, tough antihero who lives perpetually on the wrong side of the law.
		Stark writes consistently entertaining heist novels that are quick to read and that surprise till the end.
		Stark can illustrate the desperation in these lives with but a few aptly descriptive words in prose that is straight-forward, realistic and smoothly readable.

		Stark (aka MWA Grandmaster Donald Westlake) offers lots of bleak fun as well as intriguing physical details of the illegal variety and righteously sharp descriptions of people we pass every day on the street.
		Stark's careful control over every element results in a fascinating novel, a look at the true price of crime, and an opportunity to enjoy another book by this master writer (aka Donald Westlake).
		Ultimately a bank is to be robbed with the connivance of a banker's wife, her ex-con, ex-cop (sort of) lover and an improvised gang of robbers.

	Critical Praise: Richard Stark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		"Stark is one of the true masters of the mystery genre...[and] continues to be at the top of his form....
		The narrative is clean and tight, the dialogue rings true, and the various characters are accurately sketched with a minimum of fuss.
		Casual violence can be funny, of course, but Stark is more subtle and more studied than that: rather than giving us farce, he turns in a work of high comedy with finely wrought ironies that sharpen and stab.

		Richard Stark's professional criminal, Parker, is so hard-boiled he could make an egg cry.
		In his third outing after a long retirement by Stark (the pen name of Donald E. Westlake, revered for the comic capers of his bumbling crook, Dortmunder), Parker is in fine form: steely, sardonic, detached.
		Stark's Parker novels were on a long sabatical, but in the past few years have come back strong.

	The Hunter Summary & Study Guide by Donald Westlake as Richard Stark
		T he Hunter (also published as Point Blank!) and several others about the exploits of an armed-robbery specialist were reissued under the series title "The Violent World of Parker," which sets exactly the right tone for a discussion of their distinctive attributes.
		In the comic entertainments written under his own name, this is played for laughs; in the Parker novels written as "Richard Stark," it is presented with a brutal directness that both shocks and fascinates the reader.
		Whether or not this is a conscious division of labor on Westlake's part, one cannot help but speculate that these two very different aspects of his literary work reflect his ambivalence regarding the prospects of a society in which selfish motives predominate over altruistic ones.

	Review: Nobody Runs Forever
		In Richard Stark's latest novel, master criminal Parker is again involved in a robbery.
		Stark throws bounty hunters, tenacious cops and much more into the mix, creating a fast and action-packed novel.
		Parker's wry comments and humour give the story a sense of levity, and the reader will soon forget that they are actually supporting an anti-hero who is committing crimes.

	Bookreporter.com - COMEBACK by Richard Stark
		In an age where the flawed and self-doubting hero has become such a cliche, it's a kick to follow the exploits of a man whose only reservations regard his chances of survival, not his motives.
		Donald E. Westlake is a prolific writer best known for his comic caper novels, but COMEBACK is written under an old nom-de-plume, Richard Stark.
		Westlake (or Stark, if you prefer) has constructed a taut and entertaining piece of pulp that manages to utilize the conventions of crime fiction without becoming wholly conventional.

	The Best Reviews: Richard Stark, Firebreak Review
		FIREBREAK is the typical Parker tale as the exciting story line is loaded with twists and turns yet the stark plot uses no unnecessary baggage.
		The tale belongs to Parker who seems relatively mellow compared to his maniacal sidekick (why trust this psychopath is beyond this reviewer).
		Still, this wild ride across the Northern Plains is an effective anti-hero thriller that proves Richard Stark under that name or as Donald Westlake can still be counted on for top-notch modern day noir.

		Richard Stark (pseudonym for Donald Westlake) latest Parker novel is sure to please the ardent fans of the author and the series.
		Richard Stark has often been referred to as the Prince of Modern day noir fiction- and Breakout re-justifies why this sobriquet bestowed on the author.
		Then again, the cover-art of the work, the size of the book etc., is reminiscent of the Noir classic novels- in particular of that of The Maltese Falcon and Postman Rings Twice – that it gives a quaint touch to the novel.
