Yeah, and if it's as easy to track him down as someone showed
it was, it's long past time to find a new place. He shouldn't
take business calls at home. I agree with you about the book
and the complicated middle bit. Lots of people and lots of
really short sections, maybe just one paragraph, jumping from
person to person, leading up to the heist. Too many amateurs
and outsiders getting involved.

It's a great ending. For a bank robber, Parker seems to have
a Buddhist sense of non-attachment and calm. If he needs to
leave a building, he'll go out the front door. If there are
cops there, he'll go out the back. If there are cops there
too, he'll go out a window and knock out whoever he meets. If
he has to leave everything behind and crawl through a ditch
and hide out for three days with no food, he will. He doesn't
worry or panic, he just keeps moving, adapating to the
situation, staying out of sight. And stealing and killing
when he must.
