The Thought Gang

The setting is France: our hero, a washed-up middle-aged British philosopher named Eddie Coffin. Broke and unsure as to his next meal, he meets Hubert, an incompetent, freshly-released, one-armed armed robber, and the "thought gang" is born. Applying philosophy to larceny, these unlikely bandits question the meaning of life, the value of money, and the role of banks as they wind their way from Montpellier to Toulon in search of the greatest heist in history. Unexpected and volatile, The Thought Gang is the hilarious and thought-provoking story of their travails.

The Life and Opinions of Eddie Coffin - philosopher, bank robber, epicurean, gobshite. A bit blokish and a bit too long but otherwise very funny especially for middle-aged, fat, former academics with six-figure world rankings like me.
