Stark is a rat and a con artist. Nobody's friend. Stark thinks he can beat the suckers and outsmart the cops - and when a big score comes his way, he's lucky to escape with his life. For four others on the job, things don't work out so well. Described by James Ellroy as the greatest armed robbery novel ever written, this is Bunker's first effort, written in the early 1960s and discovered only after his death - an exclusive UK publication of the early work of a crime writing legend.
