"Well, what do I want her to do?...
I want her to get unstuck before she goes unglued."

Hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs discuss the new, posthumously-published novel from the great crime novelist, Donald Westlake, author of the Parker & Dortmunder books. Westlake is a Pink Smoke favorite and the podcast has previously covered Forever and a Death (a script for a James Bond movie converted into a novel) and Double Feature (a pair of novellas about violence in Hollywood.)

The story of a woman putting off responding to a marriage proposal by contracting a New York cabby to drive her to Los Angeles instead of flying there, Call Me a Cab is a bit of a change-up for Westlake. Instead of a dark thriller like The Hunter and The Ax or a clever, genial crime story like The Hot Rock, this latest novel is a low-key romance built around a meandering road-trip. It’s a unique story and approach by an author from who you would least expect it.
