Publisher Description

When he's not carrying out heists with his friend Parker, Alan Grofield runs a small theater in Indiana. But putting on shows costs money, and jobs have been thin lately, which is why Grofield agreed to fly to Las Vegas to hear Andrew Myers' plan to knock over a brewery in upstate New York.

Unfortunately, Myers' plan is insane, so Grofield walks out on him. Myers isn't a man you walk out on, and his retribution culminates in an act of unforgivable brutality. That's when Grofield decides to show him what a disciple of Parker is capable of.

"Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake) has written an excellent novel exploring the lives of professional criminals. Not a word is wasted with every suspenseful scene described in plain, no-frills language. I felt like I could picture every character and setting just as Stark meant it to be. "

    " I love the Alan Grofield character. The artist and criminal intertwined, with an interesting moral ambiguity. The book is explosive, like bombs blowing out a bank safe. "

    " Intricate, and interesting plot and characters, but the best thing about this book was the useful tips for up and coming criminals. It really made it seem more real, not many writers can drag you into a story like that. "

    " Passable Westlake crime yarn. Some amusing self-consciously literary moments along the way, but I doubt I'll remember this one beyond next week. "

    " A reprint of a 1962 issue from Random House, 361 is a noir with a hardboiled tone. Westlake's seamless plotline, deft dialogue, and smart pacing. 361 is another brisk-paced satisfying read from the folks at Hard Case Crime. "

    " This is only the second Grofield novel I've read (if you don't count his appearances in the Parker novels) but it was definitely the better of the two. Great action and suspense. "

    " Marketed as a kind of spinoff of the Parker series (really he's only mentioned once) this is a weaker Stark (or Westlake) offering. Fun while it lasted, but pretty forgettable. "
