McGinnis, 61, Boston gangster and mastermind of the 1950 Brinks robbery-biggest haul ($2,775,395, of which only $56,586 has been recovered) in U.S. history-who had an alibi on the night of the crime, but was betrayed by a member of his ten-man gang, convicted, and given nine concurrent life sentences; of arteriosclerosis; at the Massachusetts Correctional Institution, at Walpole...

But instead of sensibly going for help, he hangs around long enough to be shot down in a helicopter, and endures so many beatings, near stranglings and near drownings that the reader loses count as well as interest...
