Description

Dangerously eccentric characters, razor-sharp black humor, brilliant dialog, and suspense all rolled into one tight package-that's The Switch, Elmore Leonard's classic tale of a kidnapping gone wrong...or terribly right, depending on how you look at it. The Grand Master has written a wry and twisting tale that any of the other all-time greats-Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, John D. MacDonald, James M. Cain, Robert Parker...every noir author who ever walked a detective, cop, or criminal into a shadowy alley-would be thrilled to call their own. Leonard, the man who has given us U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (currently starring in TV's Justified) is at his storytelling best, as a spurned wife decides to take a rightful-and profitable-revenge on her deceiving hubby by teaming up with the two thugs he hired to abduct her.
