      “Bank-robbing novel drips with authenticity. Fans of the big caper novel are in for a real treat. Verisimilitude, the illusion of a carefully created reality, he has seldom been stronger. If author Robert Pollock is not on parole, he should certainly be under surveillance. He has an exceptionally crafty mind.” Alfred Nussbaum —Chicago Sunday-Sun Times (Mr. Nussbaum was once one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted men. At the time he wrote this review he was serving a 40 year sentence for multiple bank robberies at the U.S. Penitentiary, Marion, IL.) “Everything adds up to a resounding caper indeed – great fun.” —New York Times Book Review “Robert Pollock is interested in facts rather then morals, and presents them with a gripping mastery of the techniques and dangers involved.” —The Times Literary Supplement “An English crime story well told. Full of suspense, it will keep you on the edge of your hammock right up to the unexpected end. I give the book three charges of nitro.” —King Features Syndicate “Audacious and ingenious, so plausible and true-to-life that its author was actually reported to the English polices at the time of a notorious bank robbery.” —The Evening News “Model thriller of its kind, tightly researched and constructed.” —The Northern Echo “Admirably realistic underworld thriller, a good read and plenty of rats.” —The Evening Standard
