-- Mavis St. Paul had been a rich man’s mistress. Now she was a corpse. And every cop in New York City was hunting for the two-bit punk accused of putting a knife in her.
But the punk was innocent. He’d been set up to take the fall by some cutie who was too clever by half. My job? Find that cutie—before the cutie found me. (from hardcasecrime.com ) ]

[* The novel takes place immediately after the events depicted in "The Damsel".
General Pozos, the banana republic dictator from "The Damsel", sends a note to Grofield reading “You can perhaps help an acquaintance of mine. There will be profit in it.” Included are airline tickets to Puerto Rico. Intrigued, Grofield flies to Puerto Rico and eventually ends up at the home of Belle Danamato, the title dame, who thinks she could use his services. They do not get along, so Grofield leaves before finding out what services she was after. (http://violentworldofparker.com)]

The Blackbird (1969, NY: MacMillan; & 1970, London: Hodder and Stoughton) as Richard Stark (15)  Alan Grofield-5

[* "The Blackbird" begins with the same scene that starts "Slayground": an armored car heist which goes wrong when a shaky driver crashes the getaway car. Parker and Grofield go their separate ways and get their separate stories.]
[* Most of the events in "The Blackbird" take place after "Slayground" due to Grofield’s hospital stay, but "The Blackbird" was published first.
Synopsis: "The Blackbird" opens with an armored car robbery gone awry (in a first chapter shared, with minor variations, with "Slayground"). Alan Grofield ends up in the hospital, where, in exchange for his freedom, he is “volunteered” by a secret government agency to go to a conference of third-world leaders in Quebec to find out just what the hell they’re up to.
The reason Grofield was picked for this mission is because he knows both General Pozos, dictator of the South American banana republic Guerrero (who he met in "The Damsel"), and Onum Marba, a powerful politician from the African country Undurwa (who he met in The Dame), both of whom will be at the conference, representing their countries.)

The Hot Rock (1970, NY: Simon & Schuster) Dortmunder-1

[The Westlake novel "The Hot Rock" (1970) was originally intended to feature Parker, but the plot, which involves a precious gem that is stolen, lost, stolen again, lost again, and so on seemed too comic a situation for the hard-boiled Parker, so Westlake rewrote the novel with a more bumbling and likable cast of characters, including John Dortmunder, who is Parker seen through a comic mirror.]

[* "Slayground" - the Parker novel that follows "The Blackbird" chronologically. Actually, most of the events in "The Blackbird" take place after "Slayground" due to Grofield’s hospital stay, but "The Blackbird" was published first. (http://violentworldofparker.com)]

The same encounter is described from Kearney's point of view in the Joe Gores DKA (Dan Kearny and Associates) novel "Dead Skip" (DKA File Series, book 1, 1972). Westlake and Gores repeated the same trick in 1990 with matching sequences in the DKA novel "32 Cadillacs" (DKA File Series, book 4) and the Dortmunder novel "Drowned Hopes".]

Synopsis: Bryce Proctorr has a multi-million dollar contract for his next novel, a wife who is trying to extract the last pound of flesh from him in an ugly divorce, a fast approaching deadline, and a serious case of writer's block. Wayne Prentice is an author with an unwanted manuscript, and he is drifting ghostlike through a world that has forgotten his novels. When the two meet by chance, Proctorr has a proposition: if Prentice will give him his unsold manuscript to publish under Proctorr's name, the two will split the book advance fifty-fifty. But there is a significant catch: Wayne must kill Bryce's wife.]

Synopsis: Some days you just might be better off dead. At least, that's what smart alec Barry Lee decides when yet another of his get rich quick schemes falls short of perfect and he finds he has only one asset left: his life. Or rather, the insurance on it. Collecting the benefits of life insurance, however, involves some painfully ultimate realities that Barry Lee would sooner avoid. So it is that Barry and Lola, his beautiful South American wife and partner in con artistry, set out to play the globalization of the insurance industry to their advantage. The story of their journey to Lola's native Guerrera and their sure fire scheme to pull off the perfect con, which begins with the staging of Barry's spectacular and very public accidental death, becomes increasingly perilous as he attempts to negotiate his afterlife in a world he in no way understands. To his surprise, some of Lola's more blunt minded and ham fisted cousins are figuring that if the whole family's going to get rich with Barry Lee dead, he's not dead enough...]

A corporate pariah surrounded by loot, including a fleet of priceless vintage cars, Hall soon finds his needs—from driving to cooking—eagerly fulfilled by Dortmunder and his gang. Dortmunder’s plan: to change in one fell swoop from loyal servants to merry robbers, and drive off with ill-gotten plunder. There’s just one problem. Monroe Hall has as many enemies as antiques. Before Dortmunder can go from serving to stealing, Hall disappears and the cops are knocking on the door. And after a violent crime is committed, Dortmunder is in the worst place possible. For as everyone knows, whenever there’s mischief in a mansion … the butler always did it!]

What's So Funny? (2007, Warner Books) Dortmunder-13

[D.W.'s dedication: "For Larry Kirshbaum - welcome aboard".
Synopsis:
In his classic caper novels, Donald E. Westlake turns the world of crime and criminals upside down. The bad get better, the good slide a bit, and Lord help anyone caught between a thief named John Dortmunder and the current object of his intentions. Now Westlake's seasoned but often scoreless crook must take on an impossible crime, one he doesn't want and doesn't believe in. But a little blackmail goes a long way in... WHAT'S SO FUNNY?
   All it takes is a few underhanded moves by a tough ex-cop named Eppick to pull Dortmunder into a game he never wanted to play. With no choice, he musters his always-game gang and they set out on a perilous treasure hunt for a long-lost gold and jewel-studded chess set once intended as a birthday gift for the last Romanov czar, which unfortunately reached Russia after that party was over. From the moment Dortmunder reaches for his first pawn, he faces insurmountable odds. The purloined past of this precious set is destined to confound any strategy he finds on the board. Success is not inevitable with John Dortmunder leading the attack, but he's nothing if not persistent, and some gambit or other might just stumble into a winning move.]

 
Dirty Money (2008, NY : Grand Central Publishing [Hachette Book Group USA, Inc.]) as Richard Stark (28) Parker-24

[D.W.: "When I sent ASK THE PARROT, the previous Parker novel in the series, to Stephen Moore, my west coast agent, he said, "Oh, does that mean it's going to be a trilogy?" "No, no," I said, "This is just the next book in the series." But his question stuck in my mind. Although ASK THE PARROT had nothing to do with the book before that, NOBODY RUNS FOREVER, except that it starts one second after the previous book ends, and although ASK THE PARROT does close out its own story and characters pretty satisfactorily, it was true there were some messy strings hanging out of NOBODY RUNS FOREVER and some cash up there in New England that Parker and his associates thought they had a right to. So, thanks to Stephen Moore, DIRTY MONEY started to grow in my mind. Maybe it's more a triptych than a trilogy, where the side panels reflect on one story and the center panel reflects on something else. At any rate, it closes out the triplet, tercet, triangle, and the job is done. And no, it won't be a tetralogy". -- from The official Donald Westlake web site ]
[Synopsis: In "Nobody Runs Forever" (2004), Stark’s intrepid thief Parker and two accomplices waylay a caravan of armored cars carrying a bank’s entire cash assets. But a fast police response forces them to hide the money and hope to recover it later, when the heat dies down. The problems that plagued the heist continue in "Dirty Money". One of the crooks is captured but escapes by killing a federal marshal, and Parker and his remaining accomplice, abetted by a female bounty hunter who deals herself in, must return to the scene of a crime crawling with local, state, and federal cops to recover the money before their former ally is recaptured and rats them out. Even worse, every serial number on the stolen bills is recorded, and if they succeed, they might net a dollar for every 10. Stark, aka Donald Westlake, seems to be drawing from his delightful criminal-caper-gone-wrong Dortmunder novels here, but the hard-edged Parker is as resolute and dangerous as ever, and the faithful will stand beside him through every step of this typically involved and entertaining novel. -- Thomas Gaughan from Booklist]

 
Get Real (2009, NY : Grand Central Publishing [Hachette Book Group USA, Inc.]) Dortmunder-14

[-- A reality-show company aptly titled Get Real recruits the delightfully understated John Dortmunder and his merry men for a heist in this clever Dortmunder novel (after "What's So Funny?"), a worthy final word from Westlake (1933-2008). The producer of the prospective series, Doug Fairkeep, reveals himself to be both cynical and naïve, a combination that makes him an excellent foil for the guys. Naturally, the gang has to make this gig pay more than what's offered, as much for the fun of it as for the extra cash. While Get Real helps them map out a "real" robbery, the boys are mapping out a real robbery-of some of the company's "hidden assets." The thinking is that Get Real can hardly come after them to retrieve cash that it can't admit that it has. The game plan changes nearly hourly, and the outcome is anything but certain. The assorted idiosyncrasies of the group's members and the interactions among them will rouse chuckles from even jaded readers.(Publishers Weekly)]
