"The funnies call it the syndicate. The goons and hustlers call it the Outfit. You call it the organization... But I don't care if you call yourselves the Red Cross, you owe me forty-five thousand dollars and you'll pay me back whether you like it or not."
Doublecrossed, shot and left for dead in a burning house by his wife and one-time partner, Parker is out for revenge. He's also out for his share of the take. And if Mal Resnick has bought his way back into the Outfit with Parker's money and no longer has it, and if the Outfit doesn't see things Parker's way, then the Outfit is going to have to think again, because Parker means what he says.
