In Lupica's second Sunny Randall continuation, Parker's prostitution kingpin Tony Marcus asks our heroine to find Lisa Morneau, his business partner and lover. Reluctant as Sunny is, she feels guilty for double-crossing Tony in their last encounter, and so takes his case. Meanwhile in Sunny's lovelife, Richie's second ex-wife Kathryn returns from London with young Richard Jr. in tow.
Mike Lupica's familiarity with Parker's canon and the other Parker continuation works again impresses. Grudge Match delivers a more vulnerable Tony Marcus, a side of him perhaps only Sunny brings out, and introduces rivals ready to pounce on his vulnerability.
