Elmore Leonard
Brought to you by Penguin.
A rip-roaring caper novel by bestselling crime author Elmore Leonard
Mickey is bored and angry with her life as a housewife in suburban Detroit, trapped with her dreary, golf-obsessed husband. Then she is kidnapped by a deeply unimpressive criminal gang who want to trade her for a huge ransom from her—as it turns out—crooked husband. But what if she doesn’t really mind being kidnapped?

Critic reviews
The chaotic, blackly comic story is carried aloft on Leonard’s cool, easy prose... Elmore Leonard’s centenary year is the ideal time to discover, or rediscover, the prolific American western and crime writer whose work – fuelled by wit, charm, action and dialogue – dominated cinema screens in the 1990s
A trio of Elmore Leonard crime novels show that, for all his concision and aptitude for depicting violence, the magic of his prose lies in wit and charm (John Self)
PRAISE FOR ELMORE LEONARD
The crime writer’s crime writer, King of all he surveys (Ian Rankin)
Cool talk, hot action … it’s impossible not to love Elmore Leonard
The hottest thriller writer in the US
The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever
Leonard is a genius
Elmore Leonard can write circles around almost anybody active in the crime novel today
Leonard provides the fizziest and cleverest dialogue in crime fiction. A total delight
