Produktbeschreibung

TOO YOUNG TO DIE: When Quent gets out of prison, all he wants is to put together another heist. This time it'll be perfect. He certainly doesn't want to have anything to do with women. His ex-wife Pearl cured him of that. But as he puts together a team to pull off a Manhattan diamond job, he meets his driver's girlfriend, Cindy. Cindy is young, not quite 18, but she's streetwise and knows the score. But she's too young for Quent. So it comes as a big surprise to him when he finds himself falling for the girl, even caring what happens to her. It's one of his rules: no women involved in a heist. But for Cindy, he might have to make an exception. THE TIME OF TERROR: He's lost his job. His wife left him, and she took the two kids. He barely has enough money to put gas in his car. Frank Mace is desperate. He decides to stick up a grocery store. But when he sees the young boy alone in the next car, on impulse he takes him instead and leaves a ransom note. Now Frank is wracked with guilt, and afraid to follow through. He's almost too terrified to pick up the ransom money. That's when Barney-bullying old friend, as opportunistic as they come-enters the picture. When Barney finds out what Frank has done, he takes over the situation. And that's when the real trouble begins....

Autorenporträt

Lionel White (1905-1985) was an American journalist and crime reporter, several of whose dark, noirish stories were made into films. Also known as L.W. Blanco, White had been a crime reporter and began writing suspense novels in the 1950s. His more than 35 books were all translated into several languages. He was best known as what a New York Times review called "the master of the big caper."White's novels included Clean Break (adapted for the 1956 film The Killing), The Money Trap (made into a 1965 movie by Burt Kennedy), The Snatchers (made into a 1969 film as The Night of the Following Day starring Marlon Brando). Seven years after White's death, director Quentin Tarantino credited him, among others, as an inspiration in his 1992 film Reservoir Dogs.
