Donald Westlake writing as Richard Stark

The 1968 film The Split was adapted from this Parker novel.
Praise for The Seventh
“Originally published in 1966, Stark’s novel is a classic noir crime thriller (replete with complex double-crosses within double-crosses) in which antihero Parker is looking to reclaim his share of the cash from a recent stadium robbery and find the man who murdered his woman.”
