Firebreak

Richard Stark: Firebreak (USA 2011)

From the Publisher:
Between Parker's 1961 debut and his return in the late 1990s, the world of crime changed considerably. Now fake IDs and credit cards had to be purchased from specialists; increasingly sophisticated policing made escape and evasion tougher; and, worst of all, money had gone digital -- the days of cash-stuffed payroll trucks were long gone.

But cash isn't everything: Flashfire and Firebreak find Parker going after, respectively, a fortune in jewels and a collection of priceless paintings. In Flashfire, Parker's in West Palm Beach, competing with a crew that has an unhealthy love of explosions; when things go sour, Parker finds himself shot and trapped -- and forced to rely on a civilian to survive. Firebreak takes Parker to a palatial Montana "hunting lodge" where a dot-com millionaire hides a gallery of stolen old masters -- which will fetch Parker a pretty penny if his team can just get it past the mansion's tight security. The forests of Montana are an inhospitable place for a heister when well-laid plans fall apart, but no matter how untamed the wilderness, Parker's guaranteed to be the most dangerous predator around.

Firebreak

Richard Stark: Firebreak (UK 2008)

From the Publisher:
Parker put down the body and answered the phone. And from that moment on he had two jobs to do. One was to rob a remote Montana lodge where a dot-com billionaire hid stolen art treasures in his basement. The other was to find out why a hit man had come to Parker's home - and who had sent him.The master thief wasn't the only one in his crew with scores to settle. Recently released from prison, Lloyd is the brains behind the Montana heist, the only guy who can crack the lodge's alarm system. But Lloyd had a quarrel with some former partners - and a temper. And when he explodes, and shoots a guy through the eye, Parker just happens to be by his side. Now Parker and his would-be partner are both cutting swaths of destruction on their way to Montana. With broken bodies and broken promises piling up behind them, one question remains: Is there enough room in this heist for both men to come out alive?

Parker put down the body and answered the phone. And from that moment he had two jobs to do. One was to rob a remote Montana lodge where a dot-com billionaire had hidden stolen art treasures in his basement. The other was to find out why a hit man had come to Parker's home - and who sent him. Parker couldn't do one job if he didn't finish the other. The master thief wasn't the only one in his crew with scores to settle. Recently released from prison, Lloyd is the brains behind the Montana heist, the only guy who can crack the lodge's alarm system. But Lloyd had a quarrel with some former partners - and a temper. And when he explodes, and shoots a guy through the eye, Parker just happens to be by his side. In Firebreak Richard Stark has elevated the noir novel to a kind of relentless poetry, painting a searing portrait of seemingly ordinary men moonlighting in death and destruction. From an elderly husband-and-wife team of assassins to a pair of crippled criminals stewing in their hatred for Parker, Firebreak is a furious drama acted out by people who know only one way to fight fire: with fire.

Richard Stark: Firebreak (USA 2002)

From the Publisher:
THE HEAT IS ON...
A dot-com billionaire has golden toilets in his Montana lodge -and some stolen art under lock and key. A man named Parker has a dead man in his garage and a few things to do: find out who sent the hit man to take him out of the picture...and steal the rich guy's hot Old Masters. For Parker, locks, cops, and guards are the kind of enemy you can count on; the most dangerous players are the men and women on his side of the law. Now from a crazed computer geek who's made himself Parker's partner to an aging husband-and-wife assassin team, Parker runs into a storm of hurt and madness on his way to big-sky country. And when the heist goes down, all hell will break loose -where only the swift and fierce will have a shot at getting out alive...
