pretty good. think i prefer the movie more, even though it's pretty much as straight as an adaptation as it could possibly be, at least from my memory. the tension (physical and sexual) is on the page, but really comes alive when you get clooney and lopez on screen. anyway, solid read!
Elmore Leonard can always be counted on for a taut, no-nonsense thriller. U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco and escaped bank robber Jack Foley find themselves as interested in each other as they are in their respective careers. The story begins in Florida and plays out its conclusion in Detroit.
The novel was made into the 1998 film starring Jennifer Lopez as Karen Sisco and George Clooney. The success of the film spawned a television series titled Karen Sisco starring Carla Gugino, recently cancelled.
Published in paperback by Dell.
