À ses trousses, des flics pourris qui n''ont pas d''autre intention que de s''emparer de l''argent et de se débarrasser de lui. Dommage que ce parc d''attractions soit fermé pour l''hiver : le spectacle à venir promet d''être grandiose. Et sanglant. Luna Park est le 4e polar mettant en scène Parker, gangster sans états d''âmes, signé Westlake et adapté par Cooke : un pitch imparable, une histoire extraordinaire et un plus en fin d''ouvrage : l''adaptation de « Le Septième ».
