It's Elmore Leonard's most daring novel to date - and his characters have never been more vivd. There's Lucy, the slender ex-nun in pressed Calvins; and Roy, the ex-cop whose career was cut short by a prison term. Here in New Orleans they've stumbled onto cache of several million dollars on its way to the Nicaraguan contra - and they have a plan. Together they're going to make out like bandits.
Improbable but fun - this is a story of an ex-con and a nun working together to grab some loot that's been stashed near new Orleans. Some New Orleans flavor too.
