The sequel to The Hunter is nearly as good. In this story, Parker continues his revenge on The Outfit (a seemingly more upscale version of the Mafia), organizing caper after caper to hit them where it hurts, in their pocketbooks. It is only nearly as good because it lacks some of the novelty you get with the introduction of a new character and also some of the closeness of the betrayal and revenge depicted in the previous book.

Darwyn Cooke, the illustrator/adapter of this book, is evidently doing two more over the next two years. Should be time in the interim to read at least one of the 24 original Parker novels that Richard Stark (the pen name for Donald Westlake) actually wrote.
