I read this mostly do to some positive mentions I've seen here. Basic
plot, three threads involving a bank robber with hopes of escaping to
Canada to buy a farm and live a quiet life, the narcissistic college
professor in a small NH town he forces to house him after spying on
him and seeing this professor having sex with a teenage girl, and the
dissatisfied FBI agent on the robber's trail. Compelling writing +
novel, reminded me a lot of Donald Westlake/Richard Stark, but
ultimately the nihilistic ending left me cold.
