About the Book



"Donald E. Westlake writing as Richard Stark"--Cover.



Book Synopsis



When he's not carrying out heists with his friend Parker, Alan Grofield runs a small theater in Indiana. But putting on shows costs money and jobs have been thin lately - which is why Grofield agreed to fly to Las Vegas to hear Andrew Myers' plan to knock over a brewery in upstate New York.

Unfortunately, Myers' plan is insane - so Grofield walks out on him. But Myers isn't a man you walk out on, and his retribution culminates in an act of unforgivable brutality.

That's when Grofield decides to show him what a disciple of Parker is capable of...



Review Quotes




Westlake's style is straightforward and terse--the snub-nosed sentences one expects for the hardboiled genre.
--Las Vegas Review of Books

PRAISE FOR DONALD E. WESTLAKE

One of the great writers of the 20th Century.

--Publishers Weekly, starred review

One of his most interesting books... absolutely a must-read.
--Booklist, starred review

Terse and bleak and low-key emotional... indelible.
--Entertainment Weekly

An unsparing look at a man adrift, it's a fitting final dispatch from a master.
--Time

A tour-de-force that shows a master at the top of his game.
--Edward Champion, Philadelphia Inquirer

Relentlessly involving.
--Weekly Standard

Among the best novels of his brilliant career. It is pure noir writing at its best.
--BookReporter

A great book... it outshines anything else Westlake has done.

Compelling... bleak stuff - though always with a bit of hope shining through.
--The Complete Review

With the unveiling of his final unpublished novel [Westlake's] range and depth as a writer are only deepened.

This is an exceptional and painful book. It is the essence of noir... one man's unceasing, provocative struggle to make good in a relentlessly grim world... Our unanimous pick for the best genre book of the year.
--PornoKitsch

Few novels conjure up such a state of pervasive dread...This is the noir nightmare, plain and simple. I read it in a white heat.

The most terrifying identity puzzle Westlake ever crafted, and it keeps you guessing all the way.

A penetrating tale, a wonderful story.
--Midwest Book Review
