You can see all the first lines to the Parker books
here:

I like them all so much I had to make a list. The first
Parker book starts with "When a fresh-faced guy in a Chevy
offered him a lift, Parker told him to go to hell." THE
MOURNER opens with "When the guy with the asthma finally came
in from the fire escape, Parker rabbit-punched him and took
his gun away." I love that "finally."
