Hi, Bruno--
At the risk of sounding like a complete whore, I have a book
coming out in a few weeks called THIS HERE'S A STICK-UP,
which is an informal history of bank robbery in America. You
can find it at Amazon.com.
As for novels, this list was a great help to me in finding
classic bank robbery novels to mention in the book. They
include: the Parker series; the Earl Drake series by Dan J.
Marlowe--most notably THE NAME OF THE GAME IS DEATH and ONE
ENDLESS HOUR; LOOPHOLE by Robert Pollock, THE BIG CAPER by
Lionel White, LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE DEAF MAN by Ed McBain,
and BANK SHOT by Donald Westlake.
