Product Description

Product 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.

About the Author
Elmore Leonard has written more than three dozen books during his highly successful career, and many of his novels have been made into bestselling films. He has been named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America and lives in Bloomfield Village, Michigan, with his wife Christine.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Godfather of crime fiction does it again., 29 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Jackie Brown (Mass Market Paperback)
If you've never read an Elmore Leonard book, you better get your ass up and get reading! For a man in his seventies it would be suffice to say that he isn't an out of touch old man, but quite the opposite. He's so observeant of peoples traits that his casts personas never miss a beat. The plot in this novel comes secondary to the sharp dialogue and the querky characters- as in all Elmores stories. He captures beautifully, the walk and talk of every character. A slow ex-con, a disenchanted bail bondsman, a cowboy ATF agent, a street smart gun dealer, a hopped up beach babe and last but not least-Jackie Burke; an air stewardess with brains, balls and panache to help get her through her problems with the ATF and the hip-cat killer Ordell Robie. So trust me on this, Elmore's one of the master writers out there today that deserves every word of praise he can get. And oh yeah if you're thinking of getting 'Jackie Brown' I'd advise you to get 'The Switch' first as it is the first story about Melanie, Ordell and Louis Gara.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elmore leonard at his best!!, 12 Oct 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Rum Punch (ISIS Large Print) (Hardcover)
Rum Punch is a wonderfully written novel, which follows the story of Ordell a low life self centered crook who is involved in a story line which throws the reader off into many different fellings and thoughts. A must for all Elmore Leonard fans and those who have watched the film "Jackie Brown" by Quentin Tarantino.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic piece of American Literature, 10 Jun 2009
By Mr. A. S. T. Bateman (Halifax, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fantastic book! From page one it's entertaining and engaging. In Ordell Robbie, Leonard has created one of the great anti-heroes in literature, a character who was memorably brought to life in Tarantino's Jackie Brown by Samuel L.Jackson. The support characters are likewise very well written and just so interesting.
Leaonard lends an intricacy to the plot but never loses the reader's thrall or allows detail to complicate the plot. Part of the genius of the book is that we never really know with whom our sympathies lie, there is blurring between heroes and villains. It manages to be lighthearted and dark at the same time. Little wonder then that the visionary Tarantino saw the scope for a fabulous film in this story.

Straight out of the top drawer!
