LISTEN to John's interview with fellow noir writer Donald Westlake.*

When we asked John about other noir writers he admired, hard-boiled Donald Westlake was at the top of his list. John got a chance to meet Westlake with the tape rolling. They talk about writing, lying and Westlake's most recent book, "The Hook."
