Meet Lennon, a mute Irish getaway driver who has fallen in with the wrong heist team on the wrong day at the wrong bank. Betrayed, his money stolen and his battered carcass left for dead, Lennon is on a one-way mission to find out who is responsible--and to get back his loot. But the robbery has sent a violent ripple effect through the streets of Philadelphia. And now a dirty cop, the Russian and Italian mobs, the mayor's hired gun, and a keyboard player in a college rock band maneuver for position as this adrenaline-fueled novel twists and turns its way toward its explosive conclusion.

Judgment Containing Books The Wheelman

Lennon is an accomplished wheelman. Escaping by the skin of his teeth from a successful bank job, Lennon wants to avoid causing injury to any bystanders, but while leaving the bank in a hurry, a woman pushing a stroller walks in his path. Braking and wrestling with the wheel was out of the question. The risk of fishtailing was too great, and Lennon worried that he would broadside both the lady and the stroller. Steering clear out of the way was impossible. Immediately to the right of the woman

Dear Mr Swierczynski:I hate you for being such a good author. By hate, I mean envy, and by author I mean sheer awesome dude. So, to recap, I envy you for being a sheer awesome dude.I read The Wheelman over a couple day span on the local transit system. It was less polished than your later novels such as Severance Package or The Blonde. It is weird to describe pulpy books as polished, but I am sure you are picking up what I am putting down.I know it is your book and as such, you already know the

I had the privilege of reading Duane Swierczynski's THIS HERE'S A STICK-UP, his non-fiction tome of bank robbery facts and figures, a few years back when it first came out. In THE WHEELMAN, Mr. Swierczynski takes fact, mixes it up with a whole lot of fiction, and comes up with a thrilling crime debut that's well worth the read! We first meet Lennon, a wheelman or get-away driver, waiting outside a Wachovia bank in Philadelphia as his two associates, Bling and Holden, get caught on their way out

Duane Swierczynski The Wheelman (2005) A while back I read Duane Swierczynskis non-fiction book on American bank robberies and robbers, This Heres A Stick-Up (2002). So clearly he brings a certain authority to this novel centered around a bank robbery in Philadelphia. He isnt shy about reminding us of his knowledge, and after awhile I found the intermittent chapters with quotes from real bank robbers a bit annoying. I get it, hes qualified, but I suppose some will enjoy the quotes from Machine

Lennon, an Irish immigrant, is a get-away driver, who with two associates robs a bank in Philadelphias Center City. All goes well, until they are rammed by unknown assailants on their way to the airport to make their escape. Lennon regains consciousness in a garbage bag & is stuffed into a pipe at a construction site, apparently along with his cohorts. Lennon manages to not only survive, but escape. But where is their haul from the robbery? Left inside a car in a long-stay car-park, the

Though I loved the Charlie Hardy series (See my review on those) I thought this novel was way too fragmented and ultimately finished with a whimper. It's as if the author simply got tired of writing it and decided to wrap up the story as quickly as possible...literally. All characterization was thrown out the door, plot was thrown out the door, half the story line was left unfinished and the wrap up literally was the author telling us what happened? I mean, really! I do not recommend this book.
