Westlake is great and if you like him, try Elmore Leonard ie Get Shorty! Westlake wrote a very dark book called "The Job" which is also worth looking for.

For American writers; How about Mark Twain - I think he is underrated. For the cowboy genre - Louis Lamour. Lamour has some historical novels and a collection of "1930's" short stories which are great fun.
