who is really Donald Westlake. For those who don't already know, Westlake, who died five years ago, wrote comic crime novels under his own name, and hard boiled ones under Richard Stark. He used other pseudonyms during his career, but a large portion of his work was under either Stark or Westlake.

80 pages in, excellent so far. I'll finish in a day or two.
