Jack's Return Home by Ted Lewis, a pretty well known series, I only recall Jack Carter and the Mafia Pigeon of the top of my head, it was pretty darn good an all. You MUST MUST MUST watch the Mike Figgis GET CARTER, with Michael Caine it is one of the finest, noirest (sorry!), and hard boildest films there has ever been, has a superb soundtrack (Lalo Schiffrin????) and will probably guarantee you never ever visit Newcastle in your entire life!

<< Are we talking about the Get Carter starring Sylvester Stallone? According
 to the credits for that film it is basedon a book called something like
 "Jack Comes Home" (I don't recall the name of the author). I watched part
 of it, but realized that I didn't care about any of the characters, or what
 would eventually happen to them. Can anyone on the list comment on the book?
 I'd hate to go through life thinking that the characters from the source
 material were as tedious and unsympathetic as they were shown to be in the
 movie.
