Lest We Forget

There are quite a few books by Donald E. Westlake that aren't generally read by his fans. Earl Kemp lists 28 of the "Alan Marshall" titles in his online fanzine. There were also several done as "Edwin West," and some others as well. Lawrence Block has reprinted some of his sleaze titles, but Westlake never did, as far as I know. Kemp's list will give you something to look for.

eFanzines.com - Earl Kemp: e*I* Vol. 3 No. 2: "Donald Westlake says he wrote 28 sleaze paperback books prior to 1962, mostly under the pseudonym of Alan Marshall (Alan Marsh). Following, by year, is a list of published Alan Marshall novels. This list is made in an effort to identify those 28 acknowledged Alan Marshall Donald E. Westlake novels and a few other confirmed writings. This list is limited to Marshall books published prior to 1965 and has every possibility of being wrong as well as missing some titles that should be included."
