This is a standard review for the University of Chicago published Parker series by Richard Stark. Overall the quality of the stories is very high. They are tightly plotted with dialogue fitted to the voices of the different characters. The descriptions of places and objects are brief but clear and connected to the characters’ perceptions.
Now the negatives: These stories average about $9.99, and I expect that some editing must have been done to warrant so high a price for what are rather short novels. There are egregious editing errors in every book in the series, some with only a few, most noticeably the first four books in the series. The rest have over a dozen spelling and grammar errors that were no doubt due to the OCR scanning process on the original books/manuscripts. The software just can’t identify certain words and doesn’t always fix hyphenated words back to whole words. Having the choice all over again, I would look for the paper backs and read those. The books just aren’t worth the $9.99 average price.

The Jugger audiobook in series Parker
I like some of the Parker books but these early ones have a bit too much killing of innocent/harmless people for my liking. Parker actually kills a 19 year-old kid in this one and an old retired safe cracker gets tortured. Those parts were pretty messed up. I still finished the book but it was kinda tough to get through regardless and independent of those scenes. A lot of the Parker books are kinda boring and don’t have enough action
Parker is threatened. His long time friend, Joe Sheer, a retired safe cracker or jugger, wrote him a letter begging for his help. Joe Sheer is the only person alive that knows Parker’s cover character Charles Willis. Parker spent many years and much money to build his cover and if it is exposed he would have nowhere to lay low with confidence.
Parker travels to Joe’s retreat, a tiny town in Nebraska, and discovers that Joe is dead. Since he visited the town using his alias name, he realized that he was now exposed. But what happened to Joe? Why did Joe beg him to come? The Jugger is the story of how Parker survives this major threat.
Investigating Joe’s death, Parker learns that several people are convinced that Joe had a large treasure stash and all of them want to find the money and get a large cut. Parker, who believes his old friend never had such a treasure, stays around to try to save his “safe” alias. This is the toughest job Parker has had. Can he save himself?
The Jugger is a violent, action packed thriller. Parker’s clever and sometimes desperate actions lead to excitement and intrigue. I highly recommend The Jugger.

Audiobook The Jugger by Richard Stark
I don’t usually read book series other than Tom Clancy, but I do read and love Westlake’s (Richard Stark pen names) Parker Series. This is #6 and suggest reading in order.
As other reviews have noted, Westlake has admitted regrets about the Jugger…Parker appears to have gone soft. I don’t agree.
The Jugger is consistent with theme of Parker as a flawed human being and master criminal with many qualities. Parker is smart, clever, perceptive about people and human nature, amoral, and only violent when he needs to be. Anyone who is skilled in their craft or business will respect Parker’s expert craft as a criminal.
Parker lives in the moment like any good sales person. Not the past. Not the future. Though he respects only dependable people he has worked with in the past. Bozzo’s and other undependable types get written off or killed. Mess with drugs, alcohol, or women during a job means you are a Bozzo and are undependable. Parker also plans financially. He pays income taxes to establish legitimacy, stashes cash everywhere like a squirrel, and only “works” enough to replenish his cash. The smart criminal.
About the story: As with other Parker stories, nothing is as it seems, and all the pieces come together by the end of the story. One of Parker’s dependable ex-crime partners is in trouble and unclear why. Parker travels to Nebraska not because he cares about his friend–he has no friends–but fear that something might leak about himself and his own criminal past. Parker leaves nothing to chance, so he quickly decides he must travel from his motel “home” in Miami to Nebraska.
The rest of the story is Parker figuring out what happened and not allowing any loose ends that might lead back to him. Story includes dumb cops, crooked cop, diligent cop, old undependable criminal partner, nosey neighbors, corruptible/weak medical doctor, and petty small town corruption.
Tip: You do need to adjust to the times–1960s. No mobile phones, no Internet, no video cameras, no Miami Vice-type weapons, and 1960’s prices to match the times.

Audio The Jugger narrated by John Chancer
the jugger is more good stuff from stark/westlake. parker heads to omaha and walks right into federal agents and a local cop who reminded me of clifton james from live and let die, the man with the golden gun, and superman 2. more hardboiled yumminess, the parker books just get better and better. features this awesome line about parker: “his clothes fit him like an impatient compromise with society, as though the man inside them could never be comfortable in a suit and white shirt, with a tie knotted around his neck and leather shoes encasing his feet.” BLAM! that’s writing right there, son.

This story is mainly a mystery. And I will say there are a fair number of “pearls” that send you away with something to think about. But the best Parker storys are the ones centered about a heist.
I will also say that there are a number of elements of this story that don’t hold together well. People behave a certain way because it makes the story work. But what you are being told does not really make sense. And that spoils it for me some.
