Another classic Leonard: sharp and clean writing, great dialogue, uncompromising descriptions of the sociopathic strata of society that lives as much by animal instincts as anything else (though this does a disservice to animals which are not gratuitously cruel to their own kind), and a good story. In this case the conflict set up with a romantic attraction between attractive female US Marshall and an escaped bank robber who, true to the pattern of a life that he cannot break, falls, in turn, into a spiralling-down series of events. A good story, well-told and a good quick read. John | Dec 1, 2005 |   0.024 seconds to build listing
Amazon.com (ISBN 0385332912, Paperback)When Jack Foley, a career bank robber, surfaces after tunneling out of a medium-security penitentiary in Florida, he comes face to face with Karen Sisco, a beautiful federal marshal. Though the barrel of her shotgun is pointed right at his face, she doesn't shoot, and Foley's accomplice, Buddy, overpowers her and puts her in the trunk of a car. Foley gets in with her and the car takes off, the escapee seemingly home free. In the cramped darkness of the trunk, the criminal and marshal find they have much in common and by the time the car reaches its destination, the two have become infatuated with each other. After Karen manages to escape, she and Foley try to reconnect outside the confining roles of kidnapper and victim.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:19 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
