Getaway by Jim Thompson

Getaway by Jim Thompson

Doc McCoy is the most skilled criminal alive. But when for the first time in Doc's long criminal career, his shot doesn't hit the mark, everything begins to fall apart. And Doc begins to realize that the perfect bank robbery isn't complete without the perfect getaway to back it up.
THE GETAWAY is the classic story of a bank robbery gone horribly wrong, where the smallest mistakes have catastrophic consequences, and shifting loyalties lead to betrayals and chaos. The basis for the classic Steve McQueen film of the same name, as well as a 1994 remake with Alec Baldwin, Thompson's novel set the bar for every heist story that followed--but as Thompson's proved time and again, nobody's ever done it better than the master.

Jim Thompson is a well-known guns writer, photographer, and consultant who has spent more than three decades as a serious collector and shooter. His commitment to meticulous historical research, along with his practical, empirical understanding, has resulted in substantial contributions to the fields of military history and weapon development.
