Description

When two seasoned criminals kidnap the stylish wife of a wealthy Detroit developer, they expect a straightforward ransom payoff—but their plan takes an unexpected turn when the husband shows little interest in getting her back. As the conspirators struggle to control the situation, shifting loyalties, greed, and the possibility of betrayal complicate their carefully arranged scheme. Set against a vividly drawn world of criminals, opportunists, and compromised elites, the novel showcases Elmore Leonard’s trademark blend of sharp dialogue, dark humor, and lean, suspenseful storytelling.
