    13 Years after publishing “The Switch”, EL reunites the crime pair of Ordell Robbie (OR) and Louis Gara (LG), plus Mr. Walker, poor fisherman in Grand Bahama turned criminal and shifty Melanie, now 34 and one of OR’s three home-bound girlfriends. LG has just been released from a 4 year sentence for 8 bank robberies. They meet again, not in Detroit or Grand Bahama, where the pair’s earlier kidnapping of a shady millionaire’s wife, described in “The Switch” took place, but in Palm Beach, Florida.
    It was already LG’s third stint in jail against OR’s single one, 20 years ago. Both are now 47 or so. Over time OR has prospered in the illegal arms business thanks to a handpicked team of poor pensioners, violent crack addicts, a half-smart Jamaican and Mr. Walker. He has also become more determined and ruthless and prods LG to put more focus into his life, to go on until targets set have been fully met, because he has plans for them, a new scam.
    Aging, seizing the chance to break with the past and starting a new life is one of the book’s main themes: enters Jackie Brown, a beautiful 44-year old stewardess, who supplements her low salary by secretly carrying cash from Mr. Walker to OR. She is arrested on her ninth run. The authorities want her to testify against OR, want him behind bars. She wonders why she was caught out. Enters bail bondsman Max Cherry (56), hired by OR to spring her from detention before she tells all. Max yearns for change too. In some ways he is as indecisive as LG, but his first meeting with Jackie after he has bailed her out, gives him the energy to explore new alternatives in life. With her.
    What follows is opera, drama, romance and comedy, a book that is one of many masterpieces of the best crime writer alive. In 1997 Quentin Tarantino turned the book into the movie “Jackie Brown” with Robert de Niro and Samuel L. Jackson acting as Louis and Ordell and Pam Grier as Jackie.
