Richard Stark, The Black Ice Score/The Green Eagle Score/The Sour Lemon Score (University of Chicago, $14 each). Volumes ten through twelve in the University of Chicago Press’ uniform paperback edition of the complete Parker novels of the late, lamented Donald E. Westlake, each with a preface by Dennis Lehane. If you haven’t gotten the message yet, get it now: Parker is the ultimate anti-hero, and these lean, stone-hard novels are as good as noir fiction gets (TT).
