BANDITS, Elmore's second best seller ever, is a tale of nuns and guns in The Big Easy.

In Part One of the deep dive, Alex and Judd dig into Elmore's return home, how this book may have inspired not just Princess Diana but Oliver North, the (hidden?) connection to other Elmore classic novels, and more. Please enjoy.

In Dennis Lehane's return to the podcast, we discuss the book Elmore considers the best crime novel ever written, George V. Higgins masterpiece The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Not only that, we talk about Robert Mitchum, The McGlaughlin Wars, having lunch with Alex Rocco, arguing with Elmore about what the best Elmore adaptation was, and more.

Dennis is the best-selling and Edgar award-winning author of over a dozen books, and the Showrunner and Executive Producer of the hit Apple TV streaming series Smoke and Black Bird. He was also a writer on HBO's The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Netflix's Bloodline. Movies based on his books include Shutter Island, directed by Martin Scorsese, Mystic River, directed by Clint Eastwood, and Gone Baby Gone, directed by Ben Affleck.
