The Parker series continues to improve, as this one has Parker waging a proxy war against the titular Outfit. Instead of focusing on one big heist like the last novel, Stark devotes a chapter each to five different heists around the country, any one of which could have easily been drawn out into its own novel.
Parker's world, his closest connections, and his attitudes are more developed by the 3rd book in, but he hasn't developed any more empathy or nuance and retains all his single-minded edge.
