A rollicking tale of the 1970s Detroit criminal underworld from legendary crime writer Elmore Leonard
To get ahead in armed robbery, you just need to find the perfect business partner...
When auto thief Stick steals a maroon ’73 Camaro from Frank’s used car lot, Frank spies an unexpected opportunity. He ‘suggests’ they combine forces, and soon they’re embarking on a crime spree across Detroit, holding up liquor stores and supermarkets and causing mayhem wherever they go. As long as they keep sticking to their Ten Golden Rules for Successful Armed Robbery, the cash keeps rolling in. But what happens when you start bending your own rules?
Elmore Leonard (1925—2013) began his long and extraordinary career as a writer of Westerns, most famously a story which was made into the film 3:10 To Yuma. He then became known for his remarkable sequence of crime novels, generally set in Michigan or Florida. A master of funny and threatening dialogue, his influence has been incalculable. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN US and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
