About “Caught stealing”
This 2004 book by Charlie Huston follows Hank Thompson, a former California baseball player now bartending on Manhattan's Lower East Side.

Praise for “Caught stealing”
“Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant.”
“Caught Stealing reads like The Maltese Falcon on crack. Tarantino meets Hitchcock meets Westlake meets Bukowski in a wild, relentlessly entertaining ride filled with vivid and colorful—but always believable—characters.”
“It’s hard enough for a writer to hit his mark, but Charlie Huston shreds his target with his first bullet fired. A frighteningly assured debut novel.”
