All the Donald E. Westlake Books That I Have Read

1. High Adventure (1985).



A caper set in Belize that involves a plot concerning Indian relics and a would-be invasion. Contrary to what the cover may indicate, the protagonist of this novel is nothing at all like Indiana Jones but one can understand why an overoptimistic book publicist might want to see it that way. It's not a bad book but I have read better.

2. Humans (1992).



A demon and an angel compete in a contest in which the stakes include the end of the world and the game pieces include a motley crew of humans. Actually it's quite a good book. And yes, the plot does sound similar to Neil Gaiman and Tim Pratchett's Good Omens.
