I think they are friends. Some DKA characters appear briefly
in Westlake's Dorntmunder bok, Drowned Hopes, and in exchange
the Doetmunder character's are in a scene of Gores' DKA book,
32 Cadillacs.
In a similar vein, I recently read Gary Disher's CrossKill, a
Wyatt book. Disher's Wyatt is an Australian Parker. They even
have many of the same character traits. and battle the
Outfit. Wyatt asks who is told a Charles Willis owned a car.
'Charles Willis' is Parker's most common alias.
