Quotes

“Whatever Stark writes, I read. He’s a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude.” Elmore Leonard

“Donald Westlake’s Parker novels are among the small number of books I read over and over. Forget all that crap you’ve been telling yourself about War and Peace and Proust—these are the books you’ll want on that desert island.” Lawrence Block

“Marvelous…Nearly half a century into his writing career, Westlake remains superb.” Entertainment Weekly

“A pleasure…Westlake’s ability to construct an action story filled with unforseen twists and quadruple-crosses is unparalleled.” San Francisco Chronicle

“Nobody does the noir thriller better than Richard Stark…His lean style and hard-edged characters, not exactly likable, but always compelling, provide a welcome return to the hard-bitten days of yore.” San Diego Union Tribune
