Synopsis
A dreamlike masterpiece of crime, honor, and perverse loyalty by the legendary author ofShoot the Piano Player. Nat Harbin is a family man.  His family happens to be a gang of burglars.  Now Nat has met a woman so hypnotically seductive that he will leave his partners and his trade to possess her.  But you don't get away from family that easily. The Burglarhas the hallmarks that made David Goodis one of the great practitioners of the hard-boiled crime novel: a haunting identification with life's losers, and a hero who finds out who he is only by betraying everything he believes in.
