free guess - Andy Dufresne
My girlfriend told me it might be Shawshank Redemption along with a couple of suggestions, then I started searching through Stephen King "novels" list in Wikipedia and forgot about it.

Free guess: Andy Dufresne.

If you consider Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption as crime genre (or horror, or any other genre already ruled out), please scratch.

TS Garp?

Interesting pick, like I said I was just poking at book titles in the 1978 American Lit page that looked promising until I found one with a big movie adaptation. How did you land on this character?

I will get a new round up soon.
