Ep. 147 The Outfit

All episodes are made available to Patreon subscribers, the most
secertive and sinister of all audiences, one week before their
general release. {www.patreon.com/thepinksmoke} Continuing our
episodes on Richard Stark's 24-book Parker series, we delve into
the third book The Outfit, in which Stark (pen name for the
legendary Donald E. Westlake) expands the violent world Parker to
epic proportions and offers a smörgåsbord of heists (a metaphorical
(not veritable) Swedish buffet of heists instead of pickled fish!)
centering minor characters who would grow in importance as the
series progressed. We also look in-depth at John Flynn's 1973
adaptation, possibly the most Parker-ish of all Parker adaptations.
