Jen pleased to hear you are reading Donald Westlake. Westlake wrote under a few pen names, perhaps the most well known being Richard Stark and the seemingly endless heist series featuring the anti-hero Parker. Garry Disher modelled his character Wyatt after Parker. While the influences are pretty obvious Disher’s series is a cracking read anyway. I have a few of the Hard Case imprint too. They published 2 Erle Stanley Gardner novels (writing as AA Fair) from his Bertha Cool and Donald Lam series. Awesome reads.
Ooh good to know! I really enjoyed the first 3 books in Disher's 'Hirsch' series & working my way through his back catalogue :) Currently in the middle of Gardner's 'The Knife Slipped' and really enjoying it - Bertha Cool is a hoot! :D Have a few more Gardner 'Hard Case Crime' stories on the shelf ready to go. Keep the recommendations coming!
