Donald E. Westlake is widely regarded as one of the great crime writers of the 20th century. He won three Edgar Awards and was named a Grandmaster by the Mystery Writers of America. Many of his books have been made into movies; Westlake also wrote the screenplay for The Grifters for which he received an Academy Award nomination.
"""Westlake proves that his signature wit and ability to turn out delightful banter can drive even a crimeless novel."" - Booklist ""Minor Westlake is still Westlake, and his many fans will turn the last page with a tear."" -Kirkus ""Fans of Westlake will not be disappointed in this perceptive romantic suspense novel...Westlake expertly proves the old adage that it's better to travel hopefully than to arrive....This story is as wistful as the theme from old episodes of Taxi."" - Publishers Weekly ""Westlake delivers his typical, engaging, page-turner story and dialogue and does so in a way that almost makes you forget that there's no crime. He builds the suspense anyway, and the results are wonderful."" - Scoop"
