Malcolm Lewis:
If you like crime noir you'll love this. Written in 1963, this is the first novel in the Parker series. I consumed it one greedy gulp this morning. I loved the fast-paced plot and the spare, no-frills prose. Apparently the basis of the 1967 movie Point Blank starring Lee Marvin and already added to my Netflix queue.

I'm delighted to see there are another 10+ Parker novels. I'll be reading them all in the very near future.
