I found "The Hook" disappointing and kind of flat, especially
after reading Westlake's "The Ax". The premise offered all
sorts of intriguing possibilites, virtually all of which are
ignored in favor of a quite obvious and unimaginative ending,
IIRC. I think I'm in the minority on this one, but I'd opt
for "The Ax" instead, a great book.
