eddie fingers 'The Friends of Eddie Coyle' ( novel )

[1972coronet]

Most of us are familiar with the (excellent) Neo Noir Crime film The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973) , but how many have you have read the 1970 novel it's based upon? 

I purchased a copy (c.2010 edition) from eBay ; should be here within a week. 

I would love to build a 1/25 scale replica of Jackie Brown's 1971 Road Runner ( "383 Hemi" , indeed ) . The most difficult part would be creating the standard bench seat interior of the 1:1 ; everything else would be a cinch ( V1X top , standard bonnet , etc. ).

I have not read the novel but I did just watch that movie again a couple of weeks ago from TCM. I kept pausing it during the street scenes to look at the cars.

Much of the film's dialogue follows the book's dialogue almost verbatim in many instances.

Here's where the "Three-eighty-three hemi" faux pas originates from (see image) .
