Samenvatting

Tough guy Jack Ryan goes looking for a missing lowlife and finds himself in a whole lot of trouble...

Motor city process server and ex-thug Jack Ryan is very good at finding people - especially people who don't want to be found. now he's being offered large bucks to locate a lost lowlife named Robert Leary, aka Bobby Lear. But this hunt is leading Ryan back into very bad company - and into beds where he doesn't belong. Then suddenly he's on someone's hitlist for some undisclosed reason, with all the big money numbers adding up to double-cross. And if Jack doesn't watch his back, he's going to find himself missing...permanently.

  • Fabulous writing

    Re-reading this 1977 thriller is pure bliss. It moves on and on smoothly and intelligently with real-sounding dialogues and plenty of sudden surprises. Its venue is Detroit, called Motor City and Motown back then, and it is about a man from Louisiana tracking stockholders unaware of their ownership aiming for the highest finder’s fee or -percentage possible, before disclosing the name of the stock concerned.
    Mr. Perez, as his name is, hires Jack Ryan, divorced and a relapsing alcoholic, who finally found a vocation and job satisfaction as process server for the state of Michigan and Detroit law firms. And good at it, finding targets faster than anyone else. After being hired by Mr. Perez from Louisiana to locate a man, then a woman to sign a contract about some treasure, Ryan’s fruitful searches prompt him to rethink his deal with Mr. Perez, risking a cool 15.000 dollar fee, big money in 1977.
    Why? Because his job got harder since Mr. Perez’s dim-witted, prejudiced associate Raymond and Virgil Royal, a black man who wears his hat just right, begin to complicate matters. And because Jack sympathizes more and more with Mr. Perez’s second target, the widow of his first. She is an alcoholic girl. Can this end without major violence or drama?
    This title has not aged since 1977, it just powers on, chapter after chapter with brilliant prose, great plotting, marvelously-described violent scenes, and perfect dialogue. This book also contains one of his best scenes ever, describing a burglary of a hotel room where every piece of paper has to be removed: it is about a picture or painting of a cat clinging on to life on a distressed sailing boat during a storm. As described by Elmore Leonard, this scene alone is worth the price of the book. World class writing!
