Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. 1st U.K. hardcover edition. [upper corners bumped, affecting both book and jacket; otherwise clean and tight with no significant wear]. SIGNED by the author at the top of the title page: "Donald E. Westlake / RS." The fourteenth book in the author's Parker series, and one of the fir…st two (the other was "Deadly Edge," which immediately preceded it) to be published in hardcover. (All the previous entries, beginning with "The Hunter" in 1962, had been paperback originals.) This caper involves an armored-car robbery perpetrated by Parker and his sometime-accomplice Alan Grofield; when it goes awry due to an incompetent getaway driver, Parker is forced to hide out in an amusement park that's closed for the winter. In a peculiar bit of cross-pollination, the same robbery had earlier been depicted in the opening chapter of "The Blackbird," a 1969 entry in the author's Grofield series. (That book depicted Grofield's escape from the crime scene, while this book follows Parker's.) (This no doubt accounts for the fact that the book bears both 1969 and 1971 copyright dates.) "Slayground" had been filmed in England the year before this edition appeared, with the Parker character's name changed to "Stone" for some reason; the film was poorly received (the BFI's Monthly Film Bulletin described it as "FLASHDANCE meets film noir," and dubbed it "disappointingly lame"), and was never released in the U.S. Signed by Author. Illustrated by (dj design) Mick Keates (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. 1st U.K. hardcover edition. [nice tight clean copy, very slight bump to top front corner; the jacket is a bit wrinkled along the bottom edge of the front panel, otherwise very nice]. SIGNED by the author at the top of the title page: "Donald E. Westlake / RS." The fifth Parker novel…, in which he gets embroiled in a scheme, hatched by a local with deep knowledge of a dead-end North Dakota town, to knock over the entire town -- "to gut every safe, safety-deposit box and store where cash is likely to be kept." Despite his misgivings about dealing with an amateur crook, Parker recruits "a team of ten other like-minded professional criminals" to carry off the multi-heist, which is "meticulously planned and flawlessly executed" -- until the guy who cooked the whole thing up "runs amok and things start to come apart in an explosive and unexpected conflagration." Originally published as a paperback original by Pocket Books in 1964 (and subsequently as "Killtown" in both the U.S. and the U.K.); this printing is sometimes misrepresented as the "first hardcover edition," but it was preceded in the U.S. by a 1981 Gregg Press edition, and is therefore only the first *British* hardcover. Two other notable points: (1) one member of Parker's gang in this book is Alan Grofield, marking the first appearance of this character, who Westlake later featured as the main protagonist in four other books; (2) the book was the basis for a little-seen 1967 French film, MISE À SAC, which was released, just barely, in the U.S. in 1969 under the title MIDNIGHT RAID. Signed by Author. Illustrated by (dj design) Mick Keates (illustrator).
