"Mr. Leonard dazzles as he sprinkles his work continually with unexpected convolutions... his people are real, with nary a stereotype in the pack."--_The New York Times Book Review._

"Elmore Lenord is the real thing... he raises the hard-boiled suspense novel beyond the limits of the genre... he paints an acute picture of the world that is all too real and recognizable."--_The Washington Post_ -- Review

Product Description

Black Ordell Robbie and white Louis Gara have lots in common--time in the same slammer, convictions for grand theft auto, and a plan for a big score. They're going to snatch the wife of a Detroit developer and collect some easy ransom money. They don't figure on a bum of a husband who has a secret mistress and no desire to get his wife back. Or on his crazy, beautiful broad of a housewife who's going to join Ordell and Louis in the slickest, saviest crime of all...
