Critics Review
-
“The novel’s deeper meditations will keep you thinking long after you’ve closed the book.”
USA Today
-
“Westlake’s fans will note the author’s typically careful use of description and dialogue…But this is no typical Westlake novel; in fact, in many ways it’s one of his most interesting books, simply because it’s so very different.”
Booklist (starred review)
-
“Lovely language and the overall discourse on the consequences of thoughtlessness make this a significant final work from a master.”
Publishers Weekly
-
“The three-time Edgar winner and Mystery Writers of America Grand Master left a huge body of work as well as a devoted following. Noir fans will be eager to jump on this ‘found’ work even though it’s different from much of his later more comedic work.”

Synopsis
Hospitalized after a liaison with another man's wife ends in violence, Paul Cole has just one goal: to rebuild his shattered life. But with his memory damaged, the police hounding him, and no way even to get home, Paul's facing steep odds—and a bleak fate if he fails. This final, never-before-published novel by three-time Edgar Award winner Donald E. Westlake is a noir masterpiece, a dark and painful portrait of a man's struggle against merciless forces that threaten to strip him of his very identity.
