The final unpublished novel by MWA Grandmaster – a wild, romantic road trip across America by taxi cab – demonstrates why this beloved author is so fondly remembered and so dearly missed. “A book by this guy is cause for happiness.” Stephen King DONALD E. WESTLAKE GOES OFF THE BEATEN PATH In 1977, one of the world’s finest crime novelists turned his pen to suspense of a very different sort – and the results have never been published, until now. Fans of mystery fiction have often pondered whether it would be possible to write a suspense novel without any crime at all, and in CALL ME A CAB the masterful Donald E. Westlake answered the question in his inimitable style. You won’t find any crime in these pages – but what you will find is a wonderful suspense story, about a New York City taxi driver hired to drive a beautiful woman all the way across America, from Manhattan to Los Angeles, where the biggest decision of her life is waiting to be made. From Pennsylvania to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and Nevada on the way to California, the characters’ odyssey takes them through uncharted territory – on the map and in their lives. It’s Westlake at his witty, thought-provoking best, and it proves that a page-turner doesn’t need to have a bomb set to go off at the end of it in order to keep sparks flying every step of the way.

“Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost”; “Don ko pakadna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai”; “Jo main bolta hun, Woh main karta hun. Jo main nahi bolta woh main definitely karta hun” Lines from well-remembered films (or ‘dialogues’ as we call them), are part of the currency of our everyday speech. Climactic scenes are unforgettably etched in our minds. Yes, we don’t just watch movies, we internalize them. How many times, have you selected a movie shuffling through multiple reviews and ratings only to find that what you see on screen is very different from what you were led to believe? You wonder if they were written more objectively and someone like you could tell what to expect? Here is an attempt to do just that. First Day, Last Show takes you through an engrossing journey of movies seen through the eyes of a common cinemagoer. The book is a bouquet of impressions about films gathered over a period of four years. You will relate to these views easily, even if you have not seen or heard about the movie earlier. All you need is to be a fairly regular cinema goer. If you love movies, you will love reading First Day, Last Show.
