Dave: IMG Jim Lynch Makes Landscape Art... Out of Text



jimlynchIf Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Out of Sight

by Elmore Leonard

Out of Sight Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Review:

"Out of Sight is...Leonard's most satisfying book in a long time. Of all the damn things, it's a romantic comedy. Leonard follows the genre rules as well as any writer of shaggy-dog noirs could..." Charles Taylor, Salon.com

Review:

"If it's Elmore Leonard, there's bound to be an edge....A modern master still cruising at the top of his form." Booklist

Review:

"The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!" The New York Times Book Review

Review:

"An absolute master." The Detroit News

Review:

"[A] sweetly meandering fantasy spun out of the cutest meeting on record....A master coasting is still a master, but nobody will take this for top-drawer Leonard." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Out of Sight is out of sight." The Orlando Sentinel

Review:

"[Leonard] has a page-to-page delivery that any fiction writer should study." Ralph Lombreglia, The New York Times
