A Hell of a Woman (Crime Masterworks)
“That's the God's truth, and I'm kidding you not. I'd crisscrossed the country, been in every state in the union at one time or another; and some of the deals I'd worked were as raw as a tackfactory whore. But I'd never made the can.

And I don't, if you know what I mean, really feel it.It was about ten o'...clock in the morning by the time they got me booked and locked up.

I couldn't believe that I was part of this, that I was in the same boat with these other guys and a lot worse off maybe. Me, old Dolly Dillon, in the jug on a grand larceny rap? It was crazy.
