In Leonard’s latest book he combines 3 characters from previous stories. Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from LaBrava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap The three characters did not know each other, but Cundo married Dawn before being sent to prision where he met Foley. Now the jailbirds are out and hanging out in L.A. where Dawn has been watching over Cundo’s fortune for the 8 years he has been in prison. Dawn wants the money, but how can she get it from him… and will Foley help.

I love Leonard, this wasn’t his best book, but not his worst either. There were a lot of characters, but some of the minor ones became important. Some of the developing story lines really didn’t go anywhere. I guess that is part of the fun of Leonard is trying to figure out what the story is, and who will be important to it.
