{"product_id":"9781569804247","title":"Confessions of a Second Story Man: Junior Kripplebauer and the K \u0026 A Gang","description":"From the 1950s to the 1970s, from Bar Harbor to Boca Raton, the ragtag crew known as the K\u0026amp;A Gang robbed wealthy suburban neighborhoods with assembly line skills. It was hard to imagine a more unlikely crew of successful thieves, writes Allen Hornblum. [They were] two-fisted, beer-guzzling, ear- and nose-biting hoodlums from a blue collar section of Philadelphia called Kensington. The gang infuriated homeowners up and down the East Coast, while baffling police. Confessions of a Second Story Man follows the gang as they move in and out of homes, courtrooms, and prisons, and even go on the run. Hornblum describes the transformation of the K\u0026amp;A Gang from a group of blue collar thieves to their work in conjunction with numerous organized crime families and their role in making Philadelphia the meth capitol of the nation. It is a compelling read about a fascinating bunch of hoodlums.","brand":"Barricade Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163090960624,"sku":"9781569804247","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781569804247_p0.jpg?v=1769899899","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781569804247","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
