![]() ![]() The group of four thieves are always interesting together as Grossman has trouble listening and Shelley has trouble staying out of the beds of other people. Unfortunately, we don’t get a whole lot of the bank robbery, though we get enough, as this novel is about how to set up a crime and how to – if all goes as planned – get away with it. ![]() The plan is to execute a big, complicated job of robbing the large bank where Shelley is a teller. But he will need to do it with green around the gills help: Jon, a young comic book enthusiast, and Grossman and Shelley, a young hippie couple looking for enough money to start a new life in a new country. ![]() To broker a truce, Nolan has to throw one last, big crime. Nolan was shot to settle an old score from the Family, the crime syndicate that dominates Nolan’s world and for whom he used to be a well-respected and trusted worker. In the first novel, Bait Money, we are introduced to Nolan (no first name), an aging – all of 49-years-old – master thief who is recovering from a bullet wound in the side that has laid him up for a month. Two of Collins’ early novels are found here: Bait Money and Blood Money. Two for the Money, by Max Allan Collins, is the latest double issue reprint from the almost always good Hard Case Crime book publishers. ![]()
