A brilliant story of revenge and counter-revenge in Atlantic City

After being shot by a mugger, Lt Vincent Mora is convalescing in Puerto Rico. There he meets Iris, a beautiful young woman who is bored and frustrated, looking for excitement and a new life. Then she is offered a job as a ‘hostess’ at a casino in Atlantic city by Tommy Donovan. But Vincent figures out there is more to this job than Iris realizes and he decides to pay Donovan a visit. To complicate matters, Iris isn’t the only one interested in Vincent – he is being stalked by a man he sent down seven and a half years before, a man out to get his revenge.

Biografisk notat

Elmore Leonard (1925—2013) began his long and extraordinary career as a writer of Westerns, most famously a story which was made into the film 3:10 To Yuma. He then became known for his remarkable sequence of crime novels, generally set in Michigan or Florida. A master of funny and threatening dialogue, his influence has been incalculable. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN US and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
