Now fake IDs and credit cards had to be purchased from specialists; increasingly sophisticated policing made escape and evasion tougher; and, worst of all, money had gone digital-the days of cash-stuffed payroll trucks were long gone. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But cash isn't everything: \u003ci\u003eFlashfire\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFirebreak\u003c\/i\u003e find Parker going after, respectively, a fortune in jewels and a collection of priceless paintings. In \u003ci\u003eFlashfire\u003c\/i\u003e, Parker's in West Palm Beach, competing with a crew that has an unhealthy love of explosions. When things go sour, Parker finds himself shot and trapped-and forced to rely on a civilian to survive. \u003ci\u003eFirebreak\u003c\/i\u003e takes Parker to a palatial Montana \"hunting lodge\" where a dot-com millionaire hides a gallery of stolen old masters-which will fetch Parker a pretty penny if his team can just get it past the mansion's tight security. The forests of Montana are an inhospitable place for a heister when well-laid plans fall apart, but no matter how untamed the wilderness, Parker's guaranteed to be the most dangerous predator around.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard Stark\u003c\/b\u003e was one of the many pseudonyms of Donald E.
