This is the first Parker novel which features Claire and it provides the background into why she behaves the way that she does in the books of the Parker series which follow.
Don Westlake did not always delve into character’ psyches though he doesn’t ignore their motivations either, but he sets up Claire to be a major part of Parker’s life henceforth.
It seems an unlikely subject for a Parker novel but a collectible coin heist at a hotel convention winds up being as suspenseful as most any other Parker book.
Because Westlake deals with criminals and provides vicarious entertainment for those of us in the straight world through these novels, there’s usually a plotter/traitor, a pathetic character who may or may not survive, but there’s always an enormous problem which Parker must deal with. This novel is no different in that respect.
As always the logistics of the heist are laid out in such detail that you can picture the entire operation in your mind.

The Rare Coin Score audiobook in series Parker
Decided to read the Parker novels in order — and they don’t disappoint. I’ve noticed that Richard Stark (D.E.W.) always manages to make each ‘caper’ very different. I tend to read each title in a single day — they’re that addictive. It’s not just the Parker character that is so fascinating — Parker, after all, remains Parker (and you can completely understand why Lee Marvin was cast in the adaptation that became ‘Point Blank’). What becomes increasingly obvious is the amount of depth the author allows the secondary characters. In this one, Claire is introduced — and her reactions to the situations she finds herself in ring true and fresh — not the usual tough girl formula that a writer like Spillane would apply to female characters. If you haven’t met Parker before, you’re in for a fun ride — no matter where in the series you begin.

Audiobook The Rare Coin Score by Richard Stark
I suppose Stark’s (aka Westlake’s) main crime is that Parker gets away with it in all his books. I guess all one can say about that is, get over it.
Parker hears about a rather unusual kind of caper. Indeed his first instinct is to leave well alone. But his curiosity won’t let him be, and also a rather interesting lady enters the scene. So basically he traps himself into a doubtful scenario.
The details are very interesting, as usual Stark seems to have gained some background knowledge that helps with the story, and Parker comes up with a way of handling the problems that is of itself interesting.
But primarily it is the overall efficiency of the story-telling that grabs you and you can’t help but romp along with the tale as the action gets hotter and crazier by the page..
This is not one of his best, but it’s a great tale full of elements of theft and background sex. It’s probably worth a ‘5’, but I know that Stark/Westlake can do better: thus my score doesn’t reflect how good the book is but reflects where it stands vis-a-vis Westlake’s own capabilities.

Audio The Rare Coin Score narrated by John Chancer
Another excellent Parker tale. This is where he first meets Claire, the woman who’s to become his lady love. She’s no shrinking violet when it comes to larceny and takes Parker for what he is. As always, Stark draws the rest of the characters well; they’re a mix of likable miscreants and despicable rogues and when the bullets fly Parker’s survival instincts are again put to the test21. Another page-turner by the late Donald E. Westlake as Richard Stark.

Donald Westlake (aka Richard Stark) is a terrific and prolific author. His Parker books are a lot of fun, but hard to find. I had an incomplete collection that was read twice over the years. I gave them away during a move to Arizona. Now I am able to find the missing books through Amazon that I cannot find at the public library.
