The Gang (1978)

Description

THE GANG is composed of Celia, a six-foot tall mistress to some of the rich and famous; Bert, a meek, middle-aged writer of crime fiction; Manny, a handsome talent agent; and his juvenile delinquent son, Mark. Through circumstances beyond their control, they join forces to form a gang, ripping off businesses for thousands and shooting anyone who gets in their way. As absurd as this scenario sounds, Kastle somehow manages to pull it off with a combination of fully-developed characters and believable plot development. If it had been made into a movie, it could have fit easily alongside such crime films as THE GETAWAY (the Peckinpah version) and DIRTY MARY AND CRAZY LARRY. ISBN:9780583126427
