Rum Punch cover

From America's top writer of hardboiled crime, the novel that became Tarantino's hit film JACKIE BROWN.

Ordell 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 plans. 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.

Elmore Leonard can write circles around almost anybody active in the crime novel today - NEW YORK TIMES

Not just a good storyteller, but also an important novelist - a model of action-writing at its best - PHILIP KERR
