Four superb novels from the master of thriller writers, whose name has become synonymous with the 'roman noir'. For two bank robbers in 'The Getaway' the heist was easy but the escape is not, and they are left grappling with ghosts of the past, murderous accomplices and the police. 'The Killer Inside Me' was a underground classic until its publication in 1952 and tells of Lou Ford, deputy sheriff of a small town in Texas. 'The Grifters' sees small-time crooks trying to break into the big time. But love, fate and family ties keep them down and they are desperate for a way out. 'Pop 1280' tells the story of a man surrounded by corruption on all sides, and of his decision to take matters into his own hands, with horrendous consequences.
