The Looters

I saw the movie based on this book at the local drive-in theater when it first came out in 1973. Many viewings later I realized there was a book and it only took me 44 years to find a copy. My reaction? Wow, some seriously racist characters who would be right at home in Trump's brave new ‘Merica of 2017! The screenplay took liberties with the original story to make Charley Varrick a much more appealing protagonist. I won't spoil what happens to him in the book, but I will say that there is a bowling ball involved.
