The coldblooded criminal known as Parker tries, and fails, to stay under the radar in rural New England: "Nobody does the noir thriller better than Stark." -San Diego Union-Tribune In Ask the Parrot, the followup to Nobody Runs Forever, ruthless thief Parker is back on the run, dodging dogs, cops, and even a helicopter. His escape brings him to rural Massachusetts, where he is forced to work with a small-town recluse nursing a grudge against the racetrack that fired him. Even in hiding, Parker manages to get up to no good. It'll be a deadly day at the races . . .
