Despite the fruity title, LEMONS NEVER LIE is your typical offering from Hard Case Crime: lean, mean and good. Written in 1971 by Donald E. Westlake under his Richard Stark pseudonym, it concerns Alan Grofield, an ordinary guy who must take the occasional robbery gig in order to fund the summer stock theater he owns.

That’s a unique setup, even if the plot that follows is not. But I love this kind of plot, no matter how many times I encounter it. Grofield graciously bows out of a brewery heist masterminded by a guy named Myers when he learns of plans to kill people in the process. Stealing is one thing, but murder is out of the question. Myers doesn’t take the brush-off so easily, but Grofield retreats to his wife and stage, where he stays put until an old friend recruits him for a Food King holdup that’s supposed to be simple.

Emphasis on “simple.” And what happens next entails events both expected and shocking, sending Grofield on a mission of revenge so focused, it recalls the classic Westerns...—Rod Lott
