Book Overview
Who is Tucker Coe? Most people don't know. So we're reissuing the first of five Mitchell Tobin mysteries that went largely unnoticed when originally published by Westlake, under the pseudonym Tucker Coe in the 1960s. With a new introduction by Westlake detailing how Tucker Coe and Mitchell Tobin came to be, this novel is classic Westlake. Mitch Tobin is a cop who betrayed those people closest to him. Losing the only job he knew how to do, he's a loner. Then mobster Arnie Rembek offers Tobin a task tailor-made for his talents and keen cop mind -- find out who killed his girlfriend. The alliance between these two men creates a gripping tale.

Great story and writing by Donald Westlake (Tucker Coe)
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
A character I haven't enjoyed before, a real good guy that operates differently. Very much like Matthew Scudder by Lawrence Block. If you have read all of the Scudder stories, try this character, you will be pleasantly rewarded. Ex-cop and all the same background. Enjoy.
