Just got the news that Donald Westlake had passed away as I was finishing Duane Swierczynski's The Wheelman- There happened to have been a Westlake reference earlier in the novel that had gotten me thinking about him before I heard the news. Westlake's Parker series (written under pseudonym Richard Stark) have been some of my favorite reads of the last couple years. Westlake was also a big influence on Stephen King and his own Bachman novels.
