 At points, Out of Sight is throbbingly romantic. (Foley and Karen get a single night together, after having drinks in one of those glass-walled revolving cocktail lounges, in a snowstorm.) The book is also, for Leonard, extremely violent. At the same time, strangely, it is one of the author’s funniest books. It ends as we knew it would. Not only does Foley not get the girl; she finally succeeds in arresting him. He asks her to kill him. He can’t bear to go back to prison. She shoots him, but only in the leg, to prevent him from escaping. She then goes up the stairs to where he has fallen and lifts his ski mask: “I’m sorry, Jack, but I can’t shoot you.” “You just did, for Christ’s sake.” “You know what I mean.” She said, “I want you to know…I never for a minute felt you were too old for me Gehört zur ReiheJack Foley (1) Ist enthalten inElmore Leonard: Four Later Novels: Get Shorty / Rum Punch / Out of Sight / Tishomingo Blues (The Library of America) von Elmore Leonard Bearbeitet/umgesetzt inAuszeichnungenPrestigeträchtige Auswahlen

HTML: Before there was Raylan, there was Sisco... U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco is on the hunt for world-class gentleman felon Jack Foley in Out of Sight, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard's sexy thriller that moves from Miami to the Motor City. Based on Miami, Florida's Gold Coast, U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco isn't about to let a expert criminal like Jack Foley successfully bust out of Florida's Glades Prison. But there's a major score waiting for him in Detroit, and a shotgun-wielding marshal isn't going to stop Foley from getting it. Neither counted on sharing a cramped car trunk??or on a sizzling chemistry that's working overtime. As soon as Sisco escapes, Foley is already missing her. Sisco can't forget Foley either??and she isn't about to let him go. Too bad the next time their paths cross, it's going to be about business, not pleasure Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Elmore Leonard is like the Quentin Tarantino of novel writing. Leonard can write fantastically delightful dialogue but I find his characterizations and plots to be surface level at best.
Maybe Lenoard just isn't my thing? (
