"An intricate and atmospheric family drama reminiscent of the works of T.C. Boyle and John Steinbeck." —Library Journal

"The story of Wylie's return to ski-cross racing and to civilian life is compelling, and the addition of Parker's strong dose of foreshadowing propels the story to a dramatic climax. A fun, fast-paced thriller." —Booklist

On Full Mearuse
“Parker, known for his crime novels, delivers an emotional and gut-wrenching literary departure that's miles away from what his fans and readers would expect in Full Measure. . . . Parker has a gift for storytelling, and Full Measure is realistic on every level.” —Associated Press

“A tense and compelling drama of the wars without and the wars within—and of the flame of violence that burns through the American psyche.” —T.C. Boyle, New York Times bestselling author of The Women

“A novel that is not only supremely readable — that’s true of all Parker’s fiction — but is also a moving, sometimes heartbreaking portrait of what often seems a lost generation. . . . artfully composed and painfully honest.” —Washington Post

“Parker’s skillful narrative builds up to revealing, with suspenseful subplots—a romance with a local reporter, a hit-and-run whodunit, a troubled brother drawn into the orbit of a racist townie mechanic—woven into a satisfying finish. A departure from Parker’s typical California crime fare, Full Measure looks at what it means to sacrifice for things you believe in—and things you don’t.” —Playboy

“An emotional and gut-wrenching literary departure. . . . Parker captures the experience of what it means for a soldier to return home. . . Parker has a gift for storytelling, and Full Measure is realistic on every level.” —Star Tribune
