Road Dogs (English)

Writing as an octogenarian, crime-fiction top dog Elmore Leonard has lost none of his style or wit. Hardcore fans will recognize several of the characters in ROAD DOGS from earlier stories, but such expertise is certainly not required to enjoy this entertaining romp. Cundo Rey, who's been making the most of his own prison sentence acquiring real estate, splurges for a crackerjack lawyer to get his man Jack Foley's jail time significantly reduced. Out scot free, notorious bank robber Foley makes himself comfortable in one of Cundo's houses. Taking a different perspective on their friendship, Foley quickly shacks up with Cundo's lady, Dawn Navarro, a psychic with an ancient-Egypt fascination and brazen ambitions. So when Cundo also gets out of the pen early, things get a little messy. Full of betrayals, schemes, and seductions, ROAD DOGS is classic Leonard. minimize
