Have you come across the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson, there's a similar dry wit about them both, but Parker is darker. S/he 'does' banal evil in a truly spine chilling manner.
So what d'you reckon, male or female. I'm backing female, but then I would claim her as one of ours!!

Oh I'll get around to all of Parker's work eventually. I'm just trying to stay in "savor" mode as opposed to "gobble."
I'm currently about a third of the way through The Fencer Trilogy. I'm probably overdue to start the second book. The Hammer has been my favorite book so far (a stand-alone).
I'm going with female, too (though neither would really surprise me).
Surprisingly enough, Stephenson's Baroque Cycle was some of my favorite reading. Check out Gregory Keyes' Age of Unreason series for some similar (albeit lighter) fun.
