Reviews
""The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!"" - New York Times Book Review ""Elmore Leonard is an awfully good writer of the sneaky sort; he is so good you don't even notice what he's up to."" - Washington Post Book World ""No one is Leonard's equal."" - Chicago Tribune ""An absolute master."" - Detroit News ""Who knows what to praise first? The world-class, one-of-a-kind Elmore Leonard dialogue? The characters -- the human beings -- inhabiting this superb novel? ... The witty, scary bite of Leonard's narrative prose? Entertaining, for sure, but the final effect is outrage. In my view, this is the best of a magnificent writer's magnificent books."" - Tim O'Brien ""A taut and engaging tale ... really a film rendered in prose. It has the cinematic mastery of scene and dialogue that characterized Leonard's later works ... fans will no doubt enjoy witnessing the voice of the master storyteller resurrected."" - New York Times ""A treasure for devoted Leonard fans and a perfect introduction for new readers."" - CrimeReads
