The Big Caper: A Pulp, Fiction and Literature, Post-1930 Classic By Lionel White! AAA+++

Taut, engrossing tale of a career criminal who pulls together a disparate array of neer-do-wells for a major crime. As other reviewers have noted, this is a great character study, but the action is also good and, because it was written in 1957, the sexual discussions are a bit more frank than they were in pulp fiction several years earlier. A terrific read.
