I happened to find this somewhat interesting, though maybe I shouldn’t have. In the 1980s, yeah there was a lot of fiction about the “action” genre where guns, shooting, and criminal cahses were part of the plot. Well, there is this modern author David Baldacci who published a “Robie” book series in the same genre, and one of my coworkers happens to really like the books of that author. So, although the literal lifestyle is getting quite antiquated, the fiction mythos lives on.
