Book description
Elmore Leonard is the crime-writer's crime-writer, king of all he
surveys. For sharp plots and spot-on dialogue, he's in a different
league' Ian Rankin Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal
high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers
Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie -
and now the aging, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do
prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that
Ordell needs to tie up - permanently. Jackie, however, has other plans.
And with the help of Max Cherry - an honest but disgruntled bail
bondsman looking to get out - she could even end up with a serious nest
egg in the process. 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.
