Books like The getaway man by Andrew Vachss


Eddie’s career of picking cars starts before he can even obtain a license, driven by a compulsion he never questions. After stints in juvenile institutions and a state prison sentence, his skill and loyalty catch the eye of J.C., a near‑legendary hijacker. When J.C. emerges, Eddie becomes the driver for his ultra‑professional crew, bound to execute the ultimate con, the "Retirement Score." Even for a master getaway man, the road turns unpredictable, and Vachss’s tight, noir narrative dissects the fine line between guilt and innocence in the underworld.
