About this listen

Deadly Edge bids a brutal adieu to the 1960s as Parker robs a rock concert, and the heist goes south. Soon Parker finds himself - and his woman, Claire - menaced by a pair of sadistic, drug-crazed hippies. Parker has a score to settle while Claire’s armed with her first rifle - and they’re both ready to usher in the end of the Age of Aquarius.

This is an interesting one: the caper is done in the first chapter, like a couple of others in the he series. But while we start mid-heist we don't go back in time. Everything moves forward from the heist. Instead we get, after the heist, a mystery of sorts and a cat and mouse conflict between Claire, some (even worse) baddies, and Parker. This is still a book of its era and genre: Claire is developed as a character and her motivation and independence are established, but she is still a woman in an series where the men do the things (Claire only breaks free from these constraints in the second run, after Comeback, and really starting with Breakout). Short, violent, thrilling: it's different from other Parker books and also just the same.
