Big Bounce: A Novel de Elmore Leonard

Big Bounce: A Novel

Autor Elmore Leonard
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2012
“The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!”
—New York Times Book Review
When the all-time greats of mystery/noir/crime fiction are mentioned (John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, etc.), Elmore Leonard’s name invariably tops the list. A true Leonard classic, The Big Bounce showcases all of the Grand Master’s acclaimed skills—twisty plotting, unforgettable characters, dialogue so razor sharp it could draw blood—as he chronicles the misadventures of a larcenous young man in a Michigan resort town who’s irresistibly drawn to a dangerous femme fatale, a rich man’s plaything, and the nasty little caper they plan to pull off together—if they can somehow manage to survive each other. The acclaimed creator of Raylan (aka U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV’s smash hit Justified), Leonard has never lost the mojo that makes him “the King Daddy of crime writers” (Seattle Times).

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attentions to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match—and more—in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket. Because violence and double-crosses are the name of this game—and it's going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive . . . each other.

Notă biografică

Elmore Leonard wrote more than forty books during his long career, including the bestsellers Raylan, Tishomingo Blues, Be Cool, Get Shorty, and Rum Punch, as well as the acclaimed collection When the Women Come Out to Dance, which was a New York Times Notable Book. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty and Out of Sight. The short story "Fire in the Hole," and three books, including Raylan, were the basis for the FX hit show Justified. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He died in 2013.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
The beguiling story of a man, a woman and a nasty crime, from 'the hottest thriller writer in the US' [Time].

"But the whole deal, staying and going along with her idea, both, depended really on how much nerve he had. Which she would have to find out..."

Nancy Hayes has plenty of feminine charm - and the instincts of a shark.
Jack Ryan is handy with his fists, and has all the cunning of an ex-con.
Now, in a Michigan resort town, a rich man wants Jack gone and Nancy for himself.

For Jack, the choice is clear: Nancy's promises of pleasure, her crazy, thrill-seeking schemes of breaking into homes, shooting guns and maybe stealing a whole lot of money is driving him mad.

But there is one thing Jack doesn't know yet. Nancy is planning the deadliest thrill of all...
