Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye
An articulate, well-read criminal narrates his own rise, which makes it far worse.
Ralph Cotter breaks out of a prison farm and sets about building a criminal operation in an unnamed city, blackmailing police and narrating his own ascent in the voice of a well-read, self-aware man who has decided morality is for other people. McCoy, better known for They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, was admired by the French existentialists, and this is the book they meant.

The literate, even brilliant Cotter is a compelling stylist, which makes his amoral actions all the more terrifying.
