Deadly Edge bids a brutal adieu to the 1960s as Parker robs a rock concert, and the heist goes south. Soon Parker finds himself--and his woman, Claire--menaced by a pair of sadistic, drug-crazed hippies. Parker has a score to settle while Claires armed with her first rifle--and theyre both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius. Richard Starks Parker novels . . . are among the most poised and polished fictions of their time and, in fact, of any time. -- John Banville, Bookforum The Parkers read with the speed of pulp while unfolding with an almost Nabovokian wit and flair. -- Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times
