Richard Stark's Parker, the hunter

Darwyn Cooke

"The Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind-- to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him!" -- from publisher's web site.
