The Getaway

Jim Thompson

Classic crime novel by acclaimed author Jim Thompson, published on the centenary of his birth.

The story of a bank robbery and its aftermath, of cross and double-
cross, told with the unflinching eye of America's greatest crime writer.

When it comes to pulling off the perfect bank job, Doc McCoy wrote the
book. But with a partner like Rudy Torrento, who is not only treacherous
but insane, and a wife who is still an amateur, McCoy has forgotten
something: when the crime is big and bloody enough, there is no such
thing as a clean getaway.
