類別：小說 - by Elmore Leonard Stephen King 說 ” 你絕想不到這個暢銷作家會在 79 歲時寫出最好的一本，但 Leonard 辦到了 ” 。 The Hot Did 將時光拉回到 30 年代，美國史上的禁酒時期，俄克拉荷馬州的嚴峻執法者 Carl Webster ，如何與重犯暴徒對抗。 Elmore Leonard 早期的小說之一，也是他創作的第一部非西部犯罪類型的小說 The Big Bounce 其改編成的電影為《大反彈》。根據 Leonarde 小說改編成的電影的還有《戰略高手》（ Out Of Sight ）、《矮子當道》（ Get Shorty ）以及《危險關係》（ Jackie Brown ）。作者 1989 年作品 Killshot 所改編的電影，由黛安蓮恩（ Diane Lane ）主演，今年將在美國上映。
"I don't know what's wrong with you. You're a nice-looking boy, wear a clean shirt every day, keep your hair combed ... where'd you get your ugly disposition? Your mama blames me for not being around, so then I give you things .. you get in trouble, I get you out. Well, now you've moved on to extortion in your life of crime ... I pay you what you want or you're telling everybody I have a girlfriend?" Jack Belmont's blackmail scheme doesn't work, but after destroying his father's property, forging checks in his name, kidnapping his mistress, and joining a gang of notorious bank robbers after his release from prison, he encounters another man trying to get out from under his father's large shadow and create his own, bigger one. Deputy U.S. Marshal Carl Webster, who at age 15 shot a man trying to steal his cows and six years later dispenses equal justice to Emmet Long, the leader of Belmont 's gang, now has Jack Belmont in his sights. Webster's exploits have earned him even more celebrity than Jack, who dreams of rivaling Pretty Boy Floyd as public enemy number one. We're in the early 30's here, just as a dust cloud is rolling across the Oklahoma plains--the days of Bonnie and Clyde , when gangsters captured the public attention, and Leonard makes good use of place and time. His minor characters are much more interesting than his protagonists, especially the women, and the writing shows occasional flashes of his trademarked ironic humor. But it's not as cool--or as hot--as even his most dedicated readers are used to, and there's barely a trace of the bizarre plot twists and unlikely coincidences that define his most recent caper novels in this one. --Jane Adams

說 / 懸疑小說 / Edgar Award Best Novel Winner
- by Jess Walter 甫當選美國 推理作家協會舉辦 Edgar Award 最佳小說獎的 CITIZEN VINCE , 以這句話展開序幕 “ One day you know more dead people that live ones... “ 這是 1980 年的秋天 , 在雷根與卡特總 統競選前八天 (" 你比四年前生活的更好嗎 ?"). 位於華盛頓的一棟寧靜住宅 , Vince 於凌晨 1:59 起床 , 口袋 放著 他每週竊取的信用卡 , 到酒吧整夜與朋友打牌及喝啤酒 . 這是 Vince 在證人保護工作下的新生活寫照 : 甜甜圈 、被偽造的信用卡、大麻 ; 和一名大作白日夢 , 以為自己是房地產仲介的神經過敏妓女女友。這個早晨一切都很正常 , 但就是有些不對勁 .
This is how Vince has lived his life ever since the Feds set him up in Spokane , after he testified to help bust up a major East Coast drug ring (or so he believes). With his voting rights restored for the first time in his adult life, one of his major preoccupations is figuring out who to vote for in the upcoming elections. The other bright spot in his new life is a donut-shop regular customer, a beautiful girl named Kelly who works as a legal secretary. When she invites him to a rally supporting her friend, local Republican candidate Aaron Grebbe, Vince decides to show up in order to further impress her. But after an evening of political debate, somehow Vince finds himself and Grebbe in a parking lot at three in the morning, giving the slip to a couple of menacing thugs who seem to know who he is. With his personal radar blasting on high-alert, Vince hurriedly makes plans to skip town. And then he walks smack into the middle of a murder scene where the victim turns out to be his credit-scam partner... and Vince knows for sure that his past is coming back to hunt him down with a vengeance. No one writing crime novels today tells a story or sketches a character with more freshness or elan than Jess Walter. While CITIZEN VINCE may initially seem/sound too American, the use of the election contest between Carter and Reagan as a metaphor underpinning the narrative is a brilliant device that lends the story (and Vince himself) a depth and introspection it wouldn't otherwise have. It allows Walter to explore broader themes of history's cyclical nature, and the meaning of freedom and choice, and the ability to remake one's self through the characters in CITIZEN VINCE. Land of the Blind and Over Tumbled Graves, a "New York Times" Notable book. He is also the author of the nonfiction book Every Knee Shall Bow (Ruby Ridge) and coauthor of Christopher Darden's bestselling memoir, In Contempt . Walter also writes essays, screenplays, short stories and poetry. He lives with his family in Spokane , Washington .

'' Citizen Vince is fresh and different -- a gritty story of betrayal, and an extended riff on life, death, and politics. Walter is a literary talent writ large." -- Boston Globe "Dazzling...wry dialogue . . . agile prose . . . and a finely tuned plot.” -- Seattle Times “Jess Walter's "Citizen Vince" is a wonderfully written, noirish thriller, but ultimately it is so compelling because Vince Camden is hard to forget…. "Citizen Vince" will leave many readers wanting Walter to hurry and deliver another installment.” - Los Angeles Times |

Filled with the beautiful black-and-white photographs that Paul loved to take when he was not battling bureaucrats, as well as family snapshots, this memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia embraced so wholeheartedly.
