Inizialmente pubblicato nel 1960 col titolo The Mercenaries e tradotto letteralmente nell'edizione italiana I mercenari.

Con la ripubblicazione nel 2009 il titolo cambiò, con l'approvazione di Westlake, in The Cutie. La traduzione italiana potrebbe essere Il furbetto (stante la traduzione dallo slang della parola).

Ma chi è il furbetto nel libro? Clay, con le sue risposte da furbetto oppure l'assassino, con i suoi sviamenti?

Clay. "Non mi vengono in mente altre domande. Per caso non vi viene in mente qualche altra risposta?"

Mettere a ferro e fuoco un'intera città? È tanto assurdo che potrebbe anche funzionare. Ma il piano dev'essere studiato al millesimo di secondo, particolare per particolare. Già, è tanto stupido che potrebbe anche funzionare...
se Edgars non crolla all'improvviso, se non hanno dimenticato qualcosa, se riescono a trovare un nascondiglio coi fiocchi, se arrivano a riunire gli uomini adatti, se prevedono ogni contrattempo, magari il piano funziona anche. Parker è scettico, all'inizio, anche perché Edgars è un dilettante, uno con l'entusiasmo facile. Ma poi, a poco a poco, l'idea comincia a piacergli, tanto che ci si butta a corpo morto. E ha inizio la lunga notte brava di Parker.… (altro)
