R.I.P. Donald E. Westlake



Mystery writer extraordinaire who never quite got the attention he deserved despite living to see several of his novels made into movies. He passed away on New Year's Eve.

He was nominated for an Oscar and won an Edgar for his screenplay for the 1990 film The Grifters. He was also nominated for an Edgar for his screenplay for the 1987 film The Stepfather and for his collaboration on the screenplay for the 1999 made-for-TV movie A Slight Case of Murder.

He will be missed.
