In the funniest crime caper ever from Grandmaster Donald Westlake, four teams of international thieves race through Paris to steal a king's ransom from the walls of a disassembled castle. A DIRTY DOZEN WITH A FRENCH CONNECTION When four groups of international heist artists team up to pull off the theft of the century – stealing an entire castle, and the treasure hidden in its walls –what could possibly go wrong? Well, consider this: none of the master thieves speak each other’s languages... and no one knows precisely where the loot is stashed... and every one of them wants to steal it all for him or herself. It’s MWA Grand Master Donald E. Westlake at his wildest, a breathless slapstick chase through the streets of Paris only one step ahead of the law – and each other.

Ungezählten Filmproduzenten überließ der große Donald Westlake alias Richard Stark die Rechte an seinem Helden, aber nie einem Comicverlag – bis Darwyn Cooke zu ihm kam. Es war ein geniales Match, das mit dieser Prachtausgabe noch einmal gefeiert wird. In der Kriminalliteratur sucht Parker bis heute seinesgleichen. “Sein Gesicht war ein Brocken Beton mit Augen aus staubigem Onyx. Sein Mund ein flüchtiger, blutleerer Strich. Seine Hände sahen aus, als hätte ein Bildhauer, der in großen Linien dachte, sie aus braunem Lehm geformt. Die Ladys in den Büros wussten, wie er war. Sie wussten, er konnte auf eine Frau fallen wie ein Baumstamm in der Nacht.” Band 1 enthält "The Hunter", eine 24-seitige Adaption von "Parkers Rache", "Die Gorillas", eine Kurzfassung von "Der Amateur" sowie umfassendes Bonusmaterial.
