...and the rest of the gang in Donald E Westlake's almost indecently pleasurable series of heist-gone-wrong comic crime novels. A little less laughter in the world, sigh. |

Sigh indeed...I've definitely enjoyed me some Westlake in my time. |

I was very sad to read about Donald E Westlake's demise - if I turn around now I can see books by Donald Westlake, 10 by Richard Stark and three by Tucker Coe(just how many pseudonyms can a man have?). Boy, he produced a lot - and still kept the quality high. Love the Dortmunder novels and the Starks (Point Blank's a great film too) and the Coes. |
