The Getaway by Jim Thompson
The story of a bank robbery and its aftermath, of cross and double-cross, told with the unflinching eye of America's greatest crimewriter, THE GETAWAY is a Dante-esque tour of the underworld, a place where no motive is pure and no tie is too sacred to be betrayed in a nightmarish split second.
B Anadarko, Oklahoma, 1906, d. 1977. Author of 29 novels and 2 screenplays (both for Stanley Kubrick - THE KILLING and PATHS OF GLORY). Films based on his novels include COUP DE TORCHON (POP.1280), SERIE NOIRE (A HELL OF A WOMAN), THE GETAWAY, THE KILLER INSIDE ME, THE GRIFTERS and AFTER DARK, MY SWEET.
