Together at last. Under the pseudonym Richard Stark, Donald E. Westlake, one of the greats of crime fiction, wrote twenty-four fast-paced, hard-boiled novels featuring Parker, a shrewd career criminal with a talent for heists and a code all his own. With the publication of the last four Parker novels Westlake wrote--Breakout, Nobody Runs Forever, Ask the Parrot, and Dirty Money--the University of Chicago Press pulls the ultimate score: for the first time ever, the entire Parker series will be available from a single publisher.

In Ask the Parrot, Parker's back on the run, dodging dogs, cops, and even a helicopter. Forced to work with a small-town recluse and a group of fools at a gun club in rural Massachusetts, Parker focuses on getting the cash and getting out. It'll be a deadly day at the races.

Featuring new forewords by Chris Holm, Duane Swierczynski, and Laura Lippman--celebrated crime writers, all--these masterworks of noir are the capstone to an extraordinary literary run that will leave you craving more. Written over the course of fifty years, the Parker novels are pure artistry, adrenaline, and logic both brutal and brilliant. Join Parker on his jobs and read them all again or for the first time. But don't talk to the law.

Comfortable Everyday Shorts with a Clean Casual Look
Size: Large, Color: Dark Grey
These shorts strike a good balance between casual comfort and a more put-together appearance. The twill fabric feels durable enough for regular wear while still being lightweight. The drawstring adds flexibility in fit, which makes them easy to wear in different settings—from casual outings to light activity. The 7-inch inseam gives a modern, slightly athletic look without being too short. Pros • Comfortable fit • Versatile casual style • Lightweight but durable fabric Cons • Not performance-focused • Limited stretch compared to athletic shorts Overall A solid everyday short that works across multiple casual settings.

Good Basic Pair of Basic Shorts
Size: Large, Color: Khaki
These are a good basic pair of shorts. They fit well with a comfortable drawstring waist and a nice length that’s not too short or long. The material feels a bit thin, which is actually a positive for summer since they’re lightweight and breathable. The color came out a little more gold than true khaki in person, but it still looks decent. Overall, they’re solid for casual wear, beach days, or just around the house. We’ll see how they hold up after washing, but so far I’m happy with them for the price and will be wearing them regularly.
