Summary
Ironworker Wayne Colson and his spirited wife Carmen are witnesses to a shakedown scam - witnesses who must be eliminated. Enter Armand Degas, aka Blackbird, the brains of the operation, and his partner Richie Nix, an ex-con whose highest goal is to rob a bank in every state. A lively chase ensues when the Colsons enter the Federal Witness Security Program with two bumbling but determined killers on their trail.
With its dead-on dialogue, memorable characters, and absolute authenticity, this is one of Elmore Leonard's all-time great novels.

Excellent
Great book. Elmore Leonard really had a way with crime thrillers. There will never be another like him.

Great story, weird narration
Why do all the women in this story have wining voices, even the main, tough, female character? It ruins the whole story, which is great in itself.

Classic Leonard, superbly written characters.
The characterisations are just superb. Very good narration too. If you like crime novels that really get into the characters, this is for you.

Tarantino Magic
All the wonderful characterisation you expect from Elmore Leonard with a basic and easy to follow plot that drives the story on.

Heart attack stuff
Talk about unbearable tension. I kept getting so worked up by the story that I just wanted to skip to the end to escape. No one can build the pressure like Elmore can. I'm going to order another one of his soon but not right away. I'll need time for the panicky feeing to wear off.

Not good writing
The master of criminal dialogue isn’t very good at the non criminal dialogue spoken by the husband and wife. Likewise their relationship seems wooden and contrived. By far the least satisfying Elmore Leonard I’ve chanced accross.
