Title: What happens next?
Product review: I happen to be a fan of Westlake's, as himself and as Stark. However, I found this last book very disappointing. The character of the female bounty hunter is interesting, but then she suddenly disappears, even though it is suggested she is on a track. On the other hand, we find out more than we need to know about what happens to another character, Dr. Madchen, even though he is almost peripheral to the story. At the end, the hero is last seen climbing a hill, with dogs and cops in pursuit. I suppose that explains the title.On his own website, Westlake says "the only thing wrong with the ending is that it suggests the end of a series". I suppose authors love even their misses. I hope he redeeems himself next time.
