Book description

The night Vincent was shot he saw it coming...' After being shot by a mugger, Lt. Vincent Mora is convalescing in Puerto Rico. There he meets Iris, a beautiful young woman who is bored and frustrated, looking for excitement and a new life. Then she is offered a job as a 'hostess' at a casino in Atlantic city by Tommy Donovan. But Vincent figures out there is more to this job than Iris realises and he decides to pay Donovan a visit. To complicate matters, Iris isn't the only one interested in Vincent - he is being stalked by a man he sent down seven and a half years before, a man out to get his revenge. Elmore Leonard has written more than forty books during his phenomenal career. Many of his books have been made into successful movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Rum Punch (which became Tarantino's Jackie Brown) and Killshot. In 2006 he was awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger.
