Dissatisfied with life on the Upper East Side, a socialite finds a new
favorite pastime: robbing banks When James R. Hastings, president of
the City Federal Bank, began construction of a new branch on Madison
Avenue, he vowed to make it burglar proof. Vaults set forty feet below
ground, an array of cameras, and a quartet of burly guards were
intended to deter any bandit. But James Hastings did not count on
being robbed by his wife. Three weeks after the bank opens, a demure
old woman removes a Luger from her handbag and asks a clerk to empty
her register, then disappears into the bathroom with a haul of over
$50,000. When the guards arrive, a scared young woman flees the
bathroom and points them to the stalls. Inside, they find nothing but
a discarded disguise, while the young woman walks calmly out the front
door. This is Penelope Hastings—a bored banker’s wife who, now
that she has taken up crime, will never be bored again. This ebook
features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos
from the author’s estate.
