Title: One of Two Dozen
Review: I loved this story. "Butcher's Moon" assembles characters from Richard Stark's first 15 Parker novels and turns them loose in a thriving Midwestern city. The plot echoes elements of "The Hunter," when Stark first introduced Parker, a professional thief, as a knight errant on a quest for a treasure owed him, but denied. This 1974 novel (with a bloody battle royal) seemingly brought down the curtain on Parker's adventures until Stark resurrected his protagonist in 1997 with "Comeback," followed by seven more Parker stories, which ended -- permanently --in 2009 with the author's death.
