      About This Book

      A groundbreaking, multi-part narrative about a plot to rob a racetrack on its busiest day of the year, using one criminal mastermind, and several ordinary people. The heist comes up smooth, but things go awry when one of the regular guys involved tells the wrong person. Stanley Kubrick liked the story so much, he optioned the rights, hiring Jim Thompson as screenwriter to produce noir classic "The Killing."
