...and if you haven't read the book yet, do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. It's one of Westlake's greatest novels (no exaggeration). Bruising and heartbreaking and philosophical -- shorturl.at/tcBTW

It is, and the "possibly" is doing a lot of work...but I'd defend the claim. THE AX is also amazing, and A LIKELY STORY, and I love HELP I AM BEING HELD PRISONER, and of course there are the Parkers...but still. This book just hits like a freight train.

It has been roughly a year since we created this account and we haven't posted anything in all that time. But perhaps the time has come. It's hard when you've got 12,000 followers at the Other Place and only a few hundred here, but... Got to start somewhere.
