One of my favorite Elmore Leonard novels and the first one I read. The first 10 pages had me hooked. (

Better than a movie, this fast paced adventure is based in Michigan, with all the usual colorful E.L. characters drawn razor sharp. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0140111093, Paperback)

He used to be on the bomb squad, but it's not until he transfers out that Chris Mankowski really begins juggling with dynamite. Rape and revenge are just the tip of the iceberg in a twisty tale that brings Detroit's denizens to life -- and occasional death -- in all their seedy glory. Electrifying, explosive, and unexpected, this is Elmore Leonard at his suspenseful best.
