a Parker novel by Richard Stark (the late Donald Westlake) from the 60's.

He wrote a whole series of these 'format' novels, all pretty much written in using the same pattern of chapters and sections.

Totally politically incorrect in a lot of the language, but these ARE over 50 years old, and obviously from a totally different era!
