psteve's review against another edition
4.0
I enjoyed this short novel quite a bit. It's very fast-paced, the characters are well-drawn, and the tension is real. As in many caper stories, a group of hoodlums, each with their own specialty, converge on a small Southern town in preparation for a big burglary, all led by the very dangerous Flood. I liked the backstories of how Flood rescued various people when they were at rock-bottom and then manipulated them.
It's nice that you can get books like this for a buck on Amazon for the Kindle. Lionel White wrote the novel for what became one of the great caper movies of all time, Stanley Kubrick's The Killing.
