Product Description

Product Description

Half Ojibway Indian, half French Canadian, the Blackbird is a professional: one shot, one kill. So when trigger-happy Richie Nix hijacks the Blackbird's Cadillac and takes him for a ride to extort $10,000 from an estate agent, it's unfortunate that a veteran ironworker and his smart wife get in their way. One of the Blackbird's rules is never to leave living witnesses... ‘A genuine sense of the dangerous edge of things which induces frenzied page-turning’ Observer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Masterful, 7 Oct 2003
By Stephen Newton (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Killshot is a masterfully told tale of a botched heist and a subsequent obsession with clearing up the mess that leads to disaster. Wonderfully written, Leonard's complex characters come to life from the word go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elmore Leonard never lets me down, 29 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Leonard's writing is so immediate, his prose so clean and snappy, he grabs your attention from the first page and doesn't let go until the last. I loved this book in particular with the contrast between the two main characters - one the typically cool assassin, the other a typically dumb redneck criminal. It was great. Probably the greatest compliment I could pay to Mr. Leonard, and the greatest recommendation I can give, is that he cured my fear of flying. I had to take flights every few weeks last year and each time I'd just open up an Elmore Leonard novel and I'd become so engrossed in the story that (no kidding!) I would actually forget my fear as the plane took off and carried me up into the sky. It takes great writing to have that kind of an effect... BUY THIS BOOK and every other ELMORE LEONARD novel you can find!

5.0 out of 5 stars Elmore Leonard Strikes Again!, 3 Feb 2002
By A Customer
Elmore Leonard is a great writer, and this is a great story. The contrast between the Blackbird and the ex-con Richie Nix is very obvious and appealing, and the climax near the end of the story between Carmen and the Blackbird is something I'll probably never be able to forget.
A top book

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant...
...okay, so elmore leonard is one of my favourite writers and maybe i'm biased, but I thought Killshot was brilliant. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not incredibly gripping
I didn't really know what to expect, as this was the first Elmore Leonard book I've read. I was expecting something like a crime version of Tom Clancy, but more gritty and... Read more
