Description

High Sierra / The Asphalt Jungle by W R. Burnett is a gripping tale of crime and deception. A complex web of relationships and motivations unfolds as Roy Earle, a man with a troubled past, navigates a heist job in California. He's joined by Red, Babe, Louis, and Marie, who proves to be more than just a pretty face. As the stakes rise, Roy finds himself torn between his loyalty to his partners and his growing feelings for Velma, a woman who reminds him of his youth. In another part of town, Riemenschneider is released from prison with plans for the perfect jewel heist. He teams up with Emmerich, a smooth-talking lawyer, Cobby the bookie, and others to pull off the crime of a lifetime. But as they prepare for the big score, their own personal demons begin to surface, threatening to derail the entire operation.
