Lemons Never Lie

A dubious heist plan pits actor-thief Alan Grofield against a maniacal mastermind in this crime thriller by the acclaimed author of Point Blank.

A struggling thespian and consummate thief, Alan Grofield isn't too picky about where his money comes from, or what he has to do to get it—so long as it isn't film or television. So when Andrew Myers calls him out to Las Vegas to discuss knocking over a brewery in Upstate New York, Grofield is there and ready to listen.

Unfortunately, what he hears is completely insane. But Myers isn't a guy you can just say no to. And when Grofield is ambushed by two shotgun-wielding thugs before Leaving Las Vegas, it sets off a lighting-fast thriller of high-stakes double-crosses, getting even, and beating the odds.

Available as an e-book–only edition, Lemons Never Lie is a classic crime thriller by the WMA Grandmaster Donald E. Westlake writing as Richard Stark.
