JIM THOMPSON OMNIBUS: by JIM THOMPSON. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780330342889.

Doc McCoy is the most skilled criminal alive. But when for the first time in Docs long criminal career, his shot doesnt hit the mark, everything begins to fall apart. And Doc begins to realize that the perfect bank robbery isnt complete without the perfect getaway to back it up. THE GETAWAY is the classic story of a bank robbery gone horribly wrong, where the smallest mistakes have catastrophic consequences, and shifting loyalties lead to betrayals and chaos. The basis for the classic Steve McQueen film of the same name, as well as a 1994 remake with Alec Baldwin, Thompsons novel set the bar for every heist story that followed--but as Thompsons proved time and again, nobodys ever done it better than the master.
