I've long been a fan of the Don Siegel film, CHARLEY VARRICK
(which, I think, people on this list should check out, if
they haven't already had a chance to). I recently bought a
copy of the film off ebay.com and noticed in the credits that
it is based on a novel called THE LOOTERS by John Reese. The
novel was apparently re-released under the title CHARLEY
VARRICK when the film came out. I don't know anything about
Reese, except it looks like he mostly wrote in the Western
genre, judging from the info I've reeled in from the web. Has
anybody read THE LOOTERS/CHARLEY VARRICK? Is Reese worth
reading? Or was he just another hack who wrote a
nothing-special book that was made into a something-special
movie?
Later...Kip
