FLY PAPER by Max Allan Collins: The mob couldnt kill him, the cops couldnt catch him, and even time cant slow him down. Him could be Nolan or him could be Max Allan Collins, still churning them out today. This classic from 1981 features bullet riddled bloody strongbox stealing action with one hundred fifty grand for the winner and certain death for whomever comes in second. Can you believe it all started with a parking meter scam? Theres no cellphones or Internet, just lots of old fashioned gun totin action. I read it in one sitting which may have been all it took Collins to write it, but like an occasional extra slice of pie, it was still darned good.
