I liked this caper novel starring Alan Grofield, one of
Parker's crew who has bought a summer stock theater (a
renovated old barn) in Mead Grove, Indiana. Of course the
only theater-goers are doctors wives and
schoolteachers.
Grofield is forced to work on the side as a thief to keep his
enterprise afloat. The ending isn't what I'd hoped for but
the dialogue is great. The scene with Grofield buying the
getaway truck from a junk dealer is a riot.
Does this novel compare to Westlake's THE AXE?
