Produktbeschreibung
When career criminal Jack Foley surfaces after tunneling his way out of a Florida penitentiary, he comes face to face with federal marshal Karen Sisco in her new Chanel suit, pointing a shotgun at his head. But she's not ready for the celebrity con, who disarms her in more ways than one.
Before there was Raylan, there was Sisco... U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco is on the hunt for world-class gentleman felon Jack Foley in Out of Sight , New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard's sexy thriller that moves from Miami to the Motor City.

Based on Miami, Florida's Gold Coast, U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco isn't about to let a expert criminal like Jack Foley successfully bust out of Florida's Glades Prison. But there's a major score waiting for him in Detroit, and a shotgun-wielding marshal isn't going to stop Foley from getting it.

Neither counted on sharing a cramped car trunk-or on a sizzling chemistry that's working overtime. As soon as Sisco escapes, Foley is already missing her.

Sisco can't forget Foley either-and she isn't about to let him go. Too bad the next time their paths cross, it's going to be about business, not pleasure.
Autorenporträt
Über die genaue Anzahl von Elmore Leonards Romanen gibt es uneinheitliche Angaben. Es sind etwa so viele wie Lebensjahre: 75. Einigkeit herrscht allerdings über die Qualität. Leonard war einer der erfolgreichsten amerikanischen Autoren, und die "New York Times" nannte ihn schlicht den "größten lebenden Kriminalautor". Etliche seiner Romane wurden mit Publikums- und Kritikererfolg verfilmt, darunter "Schnappt Shorty (mit John Travolta, Gene Hackman und Danny De Vito), "Zuckerschnute" ("Out of Sight") mit George Clooney und Jennifer Lopez. Quentin Tarantinos "Jackie Brown" basiert auf "Rum Punch". Elmore Leonard war fünffacher Vater und neunfacher Großvater und lebte mit seiner zweiten Frau in Birmingham, Michigan. Im Jahr 2012 wurde er mit der National Book Foundation's Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters ausgezeichnet. Elmore Leonard verstarb 2013 im Alter von 87 Jahren.
