Publisher Description
Jack Foley was busting out of Florida's Glades Prison when he ran head-on into Karen Sisco with a shotgun. Suddenly the world-class gentleman felon was sharing a cramped car trunk with a disarmed federal marshal—whose Chanel suit cost more than the take from Foley's last bank job—and the chemistry was working overtime. Here's a lady Jack could fall for in a big way, if she weren't a dedicated representative of the law that he breaks for a living. And as soon as she escapes, he's already missing her. But there are some seriously bad men and a major score waiting for Jack in Motown. And there's a good chance that when his path crosses Karen's again, she's going to be there for business, not pleasure.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
One of Elmore Leonard’s funniest and most twisted crime capers kicks off when a bizarre series of circumstances finds newly sprung bank robber Jack Foley stuck in a car trunk with the highly capable (and breathtaking) U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco. So now Jack is definitely on Karen’s radar, which makes things even more complicated when he gets forced into a very poorly planned heist—with Karen right on his tail. We loved how Leonard switches POV between sardonic Jack and stubborn Karen; their mutual attraction is as undeniable as it is unthinkable to act on. The offbeat cast of ex- and future cons who rope Jack back into a life of crime are as scary as they are hysterically funny. But the real question in this quirky game of cops-and-robbers is whether the law of attraction can outrun the law of the land, and we couldn’t wait to find out.

Out of Sight
This was a pretty good yarn. Even Chandleresque. It was easy to read, interesting and kept me engaged to the very end. A very believable and fast paced plot. Would make a great movie, I’m sure.
