Boston writer Schorow takes another look at the famous 1950 Brinks robbery in which two and a half million dollars were taken. Films have glorified the thieves and Boston made them into heroes. Schorow follows the police investigation that lasted six years. She also takes an unromantic look at the robbers, noting that they were not exactly honest workers alienated by the system. While the robbery and its aftermath is the focal point of the book, the city of Boston is also an important character. Schorow explores the reasons why Bostonians saw the robbers so positively, delving into the changes in society just after the end of World War II.
