Stark, Richard
A hit attempt on Parker while he is in flagranti delicto means that it’s time to settle his beef with the Outfit once and for all. His plan is twofold. First, tell his associates that have previously respected the boundaries between freelancers and organized criminals that the truce is off–they are now free to hit the many Outfit targets that they know from their day-to-day work are easy targets run by an organization that’s growing soft. Second, Parker is going after Bronson, the head of the Outfit, in person.
