God Save the Mark won the 1968 Edgar Award for best novel. And I read it as a part of my effort to read all of the Edgar Award winning novels.
This edition was the first of three per year reprints per year of out of print Edgar Award winning novels undertaken by Otto Penzler, proprietor of the Mysterious Bookshop. In the introduction to God Save the Mark, Mr. Penzler describes the comic nature of Westlake's stories. It's a good story but I think the definition of humor must have changed since 1968 or else I'm having another grumpy day.
