    Finished The Man with the Getaway Face, the second novel in Richard Stark's Parker series. A good follow-up to The Hunter but I don't think it's quite as strong. Looking forward to The Outfit.

    Echoing batnbreakfast, yes, Scalped really is amazing. But outside of Scalped and his Punisher Max, which I thought was good, I haven't read anything else by Aaron.

    Jekyll, I would recommend starting with Pulp. Mostly because it is short and you can fly through that pretty quickly but it is also really good. After that, you should totally dive into Criminal.
