Elmore Leonard

Detroit native Gregg Sutter first met Elmore Leonard in 1979 and began working for him in 1981. He is currently at work on a biography of Leonard, from his unique perspective as his full-time researcher for more than thirty years. He is the editor of The Library of America’s three-volume edition of Leonard’s novels.

Samenvatting

From America's top writer of hardboiled crime, the novel that became Tarantino's hit film JACKIE BROWN.

Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie - and now the aging, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that Ordell needs to tie up...permanently. Jackie, however, has other plans. And with the help of Max Cherry - an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out - she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process.

    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.
