Jack Foley, curtido ladrón de bancos y otras minucias, encerrado en prisión numerosas veces y fugado de ellas unas pocas menos, está ahora en la prisión de Glades, en Florida, y tiene varios asuntos pendientes. El primero, fugarse una vez más para poder ocuparse del resto. Vestida con un sugerente traje negro de Chanel y a propósito de un asunto sin importancia que quiere despachar pronto pues luego tiene una cita, casualmente por allí mismo anda la agente Karen Sisco. La fuga, a decir verdad, no saldrá del todo bien y Jack y Karen tendrán un encuentro singular que se prolongará en una incesante persecución a lo largo de esta trepidante novela.
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

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.

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? ( )
