The Burglar (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

A dreamlike masterpiece of crime, honor, and perverse loyalty by the legendary author of **Shoot the Piano Player**.

Nat Harbin is a family man. His family happens to be a gang of burglars. Now Nat has met a woman so hypnotically seductive that he will leave his partners and his trade to possess her. But you don't get away from family that easily.

**The Burglar** has the hallmarks that made David Goodis one of the great practitioners of the hard-boiled crime novel: a haunting identification with life's losers, and a hero who finds out who he is only by betraying everything he believes in.
