With a new foreword by Sarah Weinman that situates the Grofield series within Westlake\'s work as a whole, this novel is an exciting addition to any crime fiction fan\'s library..
Following a wounded Grofield and his gal on a scenic, action-packed road trip from Mexico City to Acapulco, The Damsel is full of wit, adrenaline, and political intrigue.
The Damsel begins directly after the Parker novel The Handle.
Not that there isn\'t violence and adventure aplenty.
While he shares events and characters with several Parker novels, Grofield is less calculating and more hot-blooded than Parker; think fewer guns, more dames.
Using the same nom de plume, Westlake also completed a separate series in the Parker universe, starring Alan Grofield, an occasional colleague of Parker.
Under the pseudonym Richard Stark, he wrote twenty-four fast-paced, hardboiled novels featuring Parker, a shrewd career criminal with a talent for heists.
Westlake is one of the greats of crime fiction.
