Publisher Description
Before there was Raylan, there was Sisco... U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco is on the hunt for world-class gentleman felon Jack Foley in Out of Sight, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard’s sexy thriller that moves from Miami to the Motor City.
Based on Miami, Florida's Gold Coast, U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco isn’t about to let a expert criminal like Jack Foley successfully bust out of Florida's Glades Prison. But there’s a major score waiting for him in Detroit, and a shotgun-wielding marshal isn’t going to stop Foley from getting it.
Neither counted on sharing a cramped car trunk—or on a sizzling chemistry that’s working overtime. As soon as Sisco escapes, Foley is already missing her.
Sisco can’t forget Foley either—and she isn’t about to let him go. Too bad the next time their paths cross, it’s going to be about business, not pleasure.

"This and Get Shorty are the best of his I have read. The characters are a notch better than his usual and the interplay between Jack and Karen is incredibly good. The dialog doesn't get any better, except maybe in Get Shorty. Tough to say which is better. "
— Edward (5 out of 5 stars)

" Leonard is my favorite crime writer, but this is not his best effort. Skip the book and see the movie. "
— John, 4/27/2011 -
" If you've seen the movie, you've almost read this book. it's a very faithful adaptation. And that should convince you to read this book, because it's great. "
— Chris, 3/24/2011 -
" <br/>Maybe my favourite book from Leonard, one of my absolute favourite authors. "
— Nicko, 12/29/2010 -
" A good police thriller, with the added twist of the heroine sleeping with the bad guy! "
— Velimir, 12/28/2010 -
" As amazing as the film....im loving it "
— Sabreena, 12/8/2010 -
" It was entertaining and fairly unpredictable. A fast and enjoyable read, but not something that I'd come back to read again. It would be a good travel book and I may check out some more of Elmore Leonard's books when I need something light to read. "
— Jennie, 11/12/2010 -
" It started out fun potboiler, then got bogged down in sexist stereotypes of female silliness. I like when his books are made into great movies, but to read? maybe he should stick to male characters. <br/>didn't finish... oh well "

" Another good one from Elmore Leonard, better than the movie, which i actually really liked. "
— City_of_lud, 9/14/2010 -
" Ok, mildly entertaining. Not sure why Soderbergh decided to make a film out of it. "
— Mike, 8/12/2010 -
" Enjoyed the book - couldn't get George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez out of my head though. Think I enjoyed the movie more than the book - very unusual for me. "
— Carrie, 8/10/2010 -
" This is the first Elmore Leonard book I've read, and probably the last. I just could not connect with any of the characters. The Karen and Jack relationship was very strange. The story line was pointless. I only finished it because it was a book club choice. "
— Nancy, 8/2/2010
