The ultimate heist thriller with the most likable bad guys since The Sting.

On a sunny September morning in 1930, six men entered the Lincoln National Bank in Nebraska's capital city armed with revolvers and Thompson submachine guns. In eight minutes they emerged with more than 2.7 million dollars, the largest take of any bank heist in history. A nationwide search for the bandits would lead Nebraska authorities through the rough, gangland streets of Chicago and East St. Louis, and deep into the heart of the Capone organization. The Great Heist not only chronicles the search for the bandits and the trials that followed, but the incredible story of how they got the money back.

In well over 130 cities and towns and 78 Indiana counties, 24 states, and the District of Columbia, Doug Martin's book Hoosier School Heist: How Corporations and Theocrats Stole Democracy From Public Education is exposing the billionaires, theocrats, corporations, scandals, corruption, crony capitalism, and money behind so-called school reform in Indiana. In her blurb to the book, Diane Ravitch, a New York University research professor of education, best-selling author, and former US Assistant Secretary of Education, says that Doug Martin's Hoosier School Heist is "one of the most frightening works I have read about the corporate reform takeover of public education" ever. Speaking of Martin's research (which has been or will soon be used by or featured in the Washington Post Answer Sheet, ABC's Nightline, and the Associated Press), Edd Doerr, in the Voice of Reason: The Journal of Americans for Religious Liberty, says "Hoosier School Heist rates five stars, up there with such other important recent books as those by Diane Ravitch, Mercedes Schneider, David Berliner and Gene Glass, and Chris and Sarah Lubienski." Presented with a "Supporting Public Education" award from the North Central Indiana School Study Council and honorary membership in the Montgomery County League of Women Voters, Dr. Doug Martin has spoken at union events, libraries, universities, and on national and state radio shows like Just Let Me Teach , the Rick Smith Show, the National Council on Educating Black Children's program, and Amos Brown's Afternoons with Amos.

One of a select band of the world's greatest professional cheats, Richard Marcus toured the gambling cultures of Las Vegas, London and Monte Carlo, winning huge sums of money from casinos by elaborate sleight-of-hand tricks with gaming chips. He and his gang were great tacticians, backing up their moves with psychological set-ups to convince pit bosses that they were watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky, while in fact their casinos were being robbed blind. Here, for the first time, Richard Marcus tells his outrageous tale of a lifetime spent cheating casinos. This insider story of how one very smart man and his small band were able to beat some of the biggest casinos at their own game opens a window on to a hidden world of intriguing personalities, tense situations and very close shaves. While Marcus devised the most effective casino-gambling trick of all time, what becomes clear is that his success was down not only to technical wizardry but his ability to stay cool under pressure. Compulsive reading.

Told in pseudo-documentary style, this classic crime film spoof was the first movie where Woody Allen would serve as director, co-writer, and star. Allen plays Virgil Starkwell, an inept, small-time crook who fumbles his way from one ill-conceived heist to the next, from an attempted gumball machine robbery as a kid to possibly the only bank job foiled by a spelling mistake. With Janet Margolin, Marcel Hillaire; narrated by Jackson Beck. 85 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: Englis

"[One] of the greatest writers of the twentieth century...Richard Stark, real name Donald Westlake...His Parker books form a genre all their own." --John Banville, Booker Prize-winning author of The SeaMaster criminal Parker takes another turn for the worse as he tries to recover loot from a heist gone terribly wrong.

As they implement the plan, people on both sides of the law use the forces at their command to stop Parker and grab the goods for themselves. Though Parker's new getaway van is an old Ford Econoline with "Holy Redeemer Choir" on its doors, his gang is anything but holy, and Parker will do whatever it takes to redeem his prize, no matter who gets hurt in the process. .

A new thriller that takes us inside a hair-raising heist, where paranoia hangs as heavy as the tropical heat, and the only law is Murphy’s.Carr—ex-CIA—is the reluctant leader of an elite crew planning a robbery of such extraordinary proportions that it will leave them all set for life. Diamonds, money-laundering, and extortion go into a timed-to-the-minute scheme that unfurls across South America, Miami, and Grand Cayman Island. Carr’s cohorts are seasoned pros, but they’re wound drum-tight: months before, the man who brought them together was killed in what Carr suspects was a setup. And there are other loose ends. Some of the intel they’re paying for is badly inaccurate, and one of the gang—lately, Carr’s lover—may have an agenda of her own. Carr finds himself “working the paranoid calculus . . . mapping the shifting landscape of who-owes-who and who-owns-who, of loyalty, grudge, and pressure”—but his biggest problems are yet to come: few of his crew are what they seem to be, and even his own past will turn out to be built on a lie.Terrifically suspenseful and psychologically complex, Thick as Thieves is a rare, penetrating look into the sophisticated machinations of an unparalleled crime, and Peter Spiegelman’s most accomplished and galvanizing novel yet.

In November, 1883, near a railroad siding called Gage in southwest New Mexico, four mounted outlaws derailed the eastbound Southern Pacific, killed the engineer, and robbed the train and passengers of far less money than they had hoped. The meager heist nonetheless set in motion one of the best Old West action yarns ever-and it's all true! Included with train robbery comes hard riding over rough country, hideouts in the wilderness, brilliant detective work, not-so-brilliant detective work, a jail break, several shoot-outs on the run, more killings, on-the-spot lynchings, greed over the reward money, and the trial where the outlaw leader, the resilient Kit Joy, tries mightily to beat the rope. Fast-paced and fully documented, former lawman Bob Alexander has once again given us important Western history that the others have missed.
