Ordell “Whitebread” Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell’s profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie—and now the aging but still hot flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime “loose end” that Ordell needs to tie up permanently. Jackie, however, has other options. And with the help of Max Cherry—an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out—she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process.

Yet another fine Elmore Leonard novel. I don't think he can write a bad story, but most people already know this. You'll find the usual slightly discordant collection of characters, situations, twists and turns. Read it if you haven't already, then read it again, just for fun.
Quentin Tarentino directed an equally fine film adaptation titled Jackie Brown, starring Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro, and others.
Published in paperback by Dell.
Great pace to it. It never took itself too seriously. Read very much like a product of its time — not a bad thing.
