Westlake, justly named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, has written everything from comic capers (the Dortmunder series) to the darker adventures of ace criminal Parker during his long career. But he's never come up with anything scarier or more timely than this story about a downsized executive who decides to kill off the competition. Burke Devore could be your neighbor: a laid-off paper company manager watching his life and family fall apart as he tries desperately to get a job. The plan he finally comes up with involves murdering seven men very much like himself, and Westlake's most impressive achievement is to make the serial killings understandable if in no way justified. Selected titles from Westlake's vast list of books available in paperback include: <i>Baby, Would I Lie?</i>, <i>The Fugitive Pigeon</i>, <i>Pity Him Afterwards</i>, and <i>Trust Me on This</i>. 170825 1997 The Ax total:181|5:56|4:63|3:45|2:11|1:6| 181 695 238 32 3 0 false false Sat Nov 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 22 12:46:32 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 05:09:48 -0800 2008
