Happy Birthday to the legendary Donald E. Westlake—a man whose imagination gave us unforgettably witty criminals, delightfully twisted plots, and a hundred reasons never to trust anyone named Parker! Your talent for turning gritty deception into page-turning hilarity deserves eternal applause.Through classics like "The Hunter," inimitable charmers such as "The Grifters," or spine-chilling thrillers including "The Stepfather," your words continue captivating readers young and old alike. With over 100 books beneath your belt (did you even have time left-over for birthday cake?), you've stolen our hearts almost effortlessly—no elaborate heist required!
Cheers once again; here's hoping heaven installed a bigger bookshelf just for you!
