The Hunter

by Richard Stark Narrated by John Chancer

Overview

You probably haven't noticed them, but they've noticed you. They notice everything. That's their job. Sitting quietly in a nondescript car outside a bank making note of the tellers' work habits. Lagging a few car lengths behind the Brinks truck on its daily rounds. Surreptitiously jiggling the handle of an unmarked service door at the racetrack. They're heisters. They're pros, and Parker is far and away the best of them. In The Hunter, the first volume in the series, Parker roars into New York City, seeking revenge on the woman who betrayed him and on the man who took his money, stealing and scamming his way to redemption.

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2012 - AudioFile

The first of 24 novels Donald Westlake wrote under the name Richard Stark introduces the coldhearted antihero named Parker, a career criminal who then appeared in 15 other novels. In this first caper, the newly freed ex-con, having been betrayed by his ex-partner and his wife, goes on a one-man campaign in pursuit of money and revenge. John Chancer provides a serviceable reading in a clear, even voice. But Parker is a gritty noir character—as dark as they come—and Chancer lacks the edge to convey that ruthlessness.
