A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match--and more--in Nancy.

    <![CDATA[PLAYMATE OF THE DAY<br/><br/>Jack Ryan has a man's fists, a boy's mind, and the cunning of an ex-con. Nancy Hayes has a woman's sleek moves and the instincts of a shark. Now, in a Michigan resort town, a rich man wants Jack gone and Nancy for himself.<br/><br/>For Ryan the choice is clear: Nancy's promises of pleasure, her crazy, thrill-seeking schemes of breaking into homes, shooting guns, and maybe stealing a whole lot of money are driving him half mad. But there's one thing Ryan doesn't know yet: his new playmate is planning the deadliest thrill of all.<br/><br/>Razor-sharp and wholly unpredictable, <strong>The Big Bounce</strong> is an Elmore Leonard classic--a sly, beguiling story of a man, a woman, and a nasty little crime. <br/><br/>Visit the Elmore Leonard Web site at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.elmoreleonard.com.">http://www.elmoreleonard.com.</a>]]>

    <![CDATA[Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attention to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match--and more--in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket. Because violence and double-cross are the name of this game--and it's going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive ... each other.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the crime novel that put Elmore Leonard on the map (before that, he was famous for westerns). I heard both movies based on it sucked, but it's a good story. Jack Ryan gets out of a jam at the cucumber picking farm job he had after prison, then gets mixed up with a nineteen-year-old femme fat...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/15620755">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Elmore Leonard.  His books are simple and read fast (which is great since I am a really slow reader).  He develops interesting characters with simple ancedotes.

    <![CDATA[Jack Ryan always wanted to play pro ball. But he couldn't hit a curveball, so he turned his attention to less legal pursuits. A tough guy who likes walking the razor's edge, he's just met his match--and more--in Nancy. She's a rich man's plaything, seriously into thrills and risk, and together she and Jack are pure heat ready to explode. But when simple housebreaking and burglary give way to the deadly pursuit of a really big score, the stakes suddenly skyrocket. Because violence and double-cross are the name of this game--and it's going to take every ounce of cunning Jack and Nancy possess to survive ... each other.]]>
