The new paperback from Elmore Leonard, "a literary genius who writes re-readable thrillers" (Martin Amis, The New York Times Book Review), Out of Sight features Deputy U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco and legendary bank robber Jack Foley. Karen Sisco is just stopping off to serve a summons and complaint on Florida's Glades Prison. She's all decked out in her Chanel suit and heels, but ready with her pump-action shotgun when the breakout begins, minutes after she pulls into the prison parking lot. But she's not ready for Jack Foley, the celebrity con who disarms her, invites her to climb into the trunk of her own car, and then joins her as his pal Buddy races onto the highway, heading for freedom. Squeezed into a trunk littered with handcuffs and tactical gear, the escapee bank robber is a perfect gentleman who shares Karen's passion for movies and wonders if it would be different if they'd met in a bar.
