I recently read Stark/Westklake's fifth Parker book, THE
SCORE (where they hold up an entire town) and Grofield sort
of works that way with Parker
(the stone thief, not the writer). We've talked about
Parker's badassedness and sociopathy. He doesn't need anyone
to help him steal, torture or kill. Grofield's a lighter
character, provides some comic relief, and seems to have more
morals, from the two books I've seen him in.
