A vintage title by Elmore Leonard – The New York Times bestselling author of Be Cool and Get Shorty
Photographer Joe LaBrava specialises in capturing the soul of Miami’s street life – and since he used to do dirty jobs for the Government, he understands his subject very well. So when his friend Maury enlists his help to sort out a problem with an ex-film star Joe fell for when he was twelve, the low-grade hustlers behind a ransom scam would need to be a lot smarter than they seem to pull it off.
But there’s a surprise in the bag for Joe – some people really are smarter than they seem.
