I was recently called to jury duty. During the screening process, the judge asked each potential juror to recount his experience as a victim of a crime. It occurred to me that 97% of them (including me) had had a car stolen or broken into, and said that the experience would not jade their verdict in this trial.

This guy, his love interest and his protégé are involved in car thievery and his sidekick lives to bust heads. AND I rooted for them and every clever prank that they pulled.

Of course my vicarious pleasure in their wicked ways is vindicated…because they promised to “Go Straight”.
Spoiler Wink, wink!

Hot on Mr. Leonard’s literary heels is Steve Brewer with his latest novel about an Albuquerque car thief who steals the wrong low rider, but doesn’t find out until he discovers a dead DEA informant in the trunk of his next job, a 1965 T-bird. You can also read Mr. Brewer’s column in the Albuquerque Tribune.

Published in hardcover by speck press.
