"Lean, mean, darkly funny." --Boston Globe "A zingy thriller by the master of hard-boiled suspense." --Dallas Morning News "Elmore Leonard may be the greatest crime novelist in the world," declares the Seattle Times, and truer words have never been written. Just follow the Grand Master of mystery and suspense to Florida's Gold Coast and you'll quickly discover that it's so. In this classic Elmore Leonard thriller, a beautiful mafia widow stands to lose everything her late mob boss husband left her if she succumbs to her desire for an attractive Detroit ex-con--so the two conspire to outwit the thugs the dead capo assigned to make sure she stays chaste. Superior crime fiction in the vein of John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M.

A whacky crime book by Elmore Leonard.
Takes place in Florida, except the very beginning and is filled with crosses and double crossses. Has 1 crazy killer and multiple characters who aren’t terribly bright.
A fun book. (

"Gold Coast" is another perfect Elmore Leonard book. This one set in Florida with the usual great characters and story line. Somewhat of a mild surprise ending. (

Classic Elmore Leonard. Very flawed characters, almost all criminals, more cunning than smart. Tons of double crossing. Lots of victims - most of them also perpetrators.

I enjoyed this book - a bit dated and sexist, but still a fun read. A mafia boss dies and leaves his wife a lot of money. But the money comes with strings. It also comes with a few small time criminals trying to get their hands on the money. Lot of bumbling intrigue and a bit of suspense, but a very satisfying ending.
