Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn’t hit a curveball, so he turned his attention 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-cross are the name of this game -- and it’s going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive ... each other.

Elmore Leonard's novels include the bestsellers Tishomingo Blues, Pagan Babies, Be Cool, Cuba Libre, Out of Sight, and Get Shorty -- his "complete crime canon" is published by PerfectBound. Leonard has also written numerous screenplays. He and his wife, Christine, live in a suburb of Detroit.
