    <body><![CDATA[This book by Charles Willeford (along with The Friends of Eddie Coyle by George V. Higgins) is the basis of the great crime fiction of Elmore Leonard. He was heavily influenced by these two authors and it shows. <br/><br/>This is not to say that Leonard copied the style – instead he has improved...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24625858">more...</a>]]></body>

I've read and enjoyed a lot of Willeford, but somehow these books just remained on my ever-growing stack.<br/><br/>A spare, quick read. There is no fat on this one.

    <body><![CDATA[OK, I checked this out because it was made into a nice little top-notch B movie with Alec Baldwin playing the lead bad-ass.  I love (w/in the context of the genre, budget, etc.) the movie and so I've always wanted to read the book.  Despite a 3-star rating it didn't disappoint.
