Wettermark is a crime novel written by American novelist Elliott Chaze, published by Scribner, New York in 1969.
Title character Cliff Wettermark is down on his luck when he decides to rob a bank to help fix the things in his life that money can buy.
After leading a sarcastic interview with a visiting Senator, he loses his job at the Catherine and his thoughts start to settle in about robbing a bank on his own.
[1] Bill Pronzini stated that "Wettermark is by turns funny, sad, bitter, mordant, and ultimately as dark and unforgiving as Black Wings Has My Angel — a brilliant character study that is likewise unreservedly recommended and that somebody damned well ought to reprint."
He called the title character Cliff "a tragicomic figure, accent on the tragic — a tired, financially strapped, ex-alcoholic wage slave whose novelist ambitions have long since been shattered by rejection and apathy.
