Doug--I agree on Destroyer. I'm somewhat embarassed that I
like him so much, actually. You should try Warren Murphy's
Trace series (four or five books, I think), and his Digger
series (four books, I think). They're even funnier.
Isn't Don Pendleton a pseudonym for Donald Westlake? Or am I
confused? Anyone know?
