Deadly Edge

A Parker Novel

Stark Richard

"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 Claire's armed with her first rifle – and they're both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius.
