Have you read any of his Parker books, written under the pseudomyn of Richard Stark?

I've read one (I've no idea if it was the first or not). It was a decent mystery; darker (as in not light-hearted) than his Dortmunder stuff. I liked it better overall from a plot stand point, but...yeah, maybe it was the character development that wasn't rounded enough. Or maybe I just intended to read another and never got around to it. I enjoyed it well-enough. The end got a little 'iffy" as far as plausible, but it wasn't a bad book by any means.
