I agree and according to Gores the basic facts are true. With
it Gores expands the scope of his fairly grim his DKA repo
men procederals.
It's another book where Westlake and Gores have their
character make brief appearances in each others books. The
parallel Dortmunder book is Drowned Hopes which is by far my
favorite in the Dortmunder series. I guess the Gores -
Westlake/ Start friendship is long -lasting , Did people
notice Interface's dedication? "For that Stark villain,
Parker -- because he's such a beautiful human being"
