Trouble is, the only people willing to help him are a kid whose idea of danger comes out of comic books, a punk as green as the grass he smokes, and a sweet young thing who gets her kicks playing one man off another \x26#8230; and another \x26#8230; It\x26#8217;s a desperate gamble\x26#8212;for the highest stakes\x26#8212;and Nolan\x26#8217;s down to his last chip \x26#8230;

Heist-man Nolan is enjoying his retirement from crime, running his own restaurant, when the president of a bank he robbed two years ago shows up with a blackmail demand. All Nolan has to do is rob the bank again—and play patsy to a sexy girl friend's murder scheme. Says the Atlanta Journal "Collins has a gift for creating believable low-life characters." With a new Introduction by the author.

Return of a femme fatale. Beautiful, homicidal Julie has one lethal solution for every problem. And now Nolan and his sometime sidekick Jon have gotten on Julie's "problem" list. If a pair of out-of-town hitmen can't do the job, Julie will do it herself. Said the Cleveland Plain "For fans of the hardboiled crime novel...this is powerful and highly enjoyable reading, fast moving and very, very tough." Now six of Max Allan Collins' early Nolan novels are back in print, with new Introductions by the author.

Nolan, the reformed thief, has finally gotten his life in order. He has a restaurant and a beautiful lady friend. Then Coleman Comfort shows up and makes things clear immediately. He and his son have kidnapped Nolan's girlfriend, and if Nolan does not do what they say, Sherry is dead.
