About the Author:
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.
Review:
"Westlake's sweetly consecrated hero, at once disconcertingly direct and utterly clueless, will bring you to your feet cheering for his impossible cause." - Kirkus Reviews
"This delightful mixture of mirth and mystery is classic Westlake." - Booklist
“An unalloyed pleasure.” - Publishers Weekly
"This newly republished stand-alone caper novel with a twist is full of quirky characters and Westlake’s trademark humor.... It’s a quiet little gem that you'll want to keep and reread." - Book Reporter
“It doesn’t matter whether you care about religious orders or real estate law, Westlake’s writing makes for another winner.” - Borg.com
