Cogan's Trade

Summary: I can see why its out of print...
Review: I know its silly to review and out of print book, but I just finished this one and so I thought I'd put it out there...

This one follows in the tradition of 'The Friends of Eddie Coyle', but where that one was fresh and engaging, this one is a little overindulgent.

The story consists of a lot of run-on dialog of ex-cons telling stories about themselves in crime and in prison. There is a plot about ripping off a local card game and the ensuing pusuit, but you have to get through the repetitive dialog of the participants telling story after story about thier lives.

I would get it from the library, but I wouldn't buy it.
