Just trying to scan the literary horizon for characters in this line-up.

Jimmy Breslin, "The Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight", comes to mind.

Robert DeNiro got his first starring role in the 1971 movie based on the book.

Who would you choose in this lead for "Capital Offense"; the title is my choice,

but the roman de clef is not my forte.

Thanks for assembling this, Steven. Utterly inspired!

Perfect! I especially like Mark Meadows and his ‘good wife’! Rivaling Chaucer!
