Jess Walter's CITIZEN VINCE was something of a different take on the gangster novel, and an Edgar winner to boot. Almost a coming-of-age feel to it, with a mobster type who enters a Witness Protection Program and does his best to shrug off the old life.<br />
<br />
THE WINTER OF FRANKIE MACHINE has to be one of the best titles I've ever heard.

I am currently reading 'Thunder City' by Loren D. Estleman. "Whiskey River' is another goody by him.<br />

The old rum runners & bootleggers---times were simpler then.

If they're not popular anymore, it's not because of Charlie Stella. All of his novels involve low- and mid-level gangsters, kind of like a modern day FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE, only dark, violent and funny. Sadly, not enough people know about him, and none of his books are in paperback.
