Elmore Leonard - Rum Punch (aka Jackie Brown) Ordell "Whitebread" 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 options. 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.

Elmore Leonard - Get Shorty
Get Shorty is classic Elmore Leonard:
While other people write "crime fiction," Leonard's come up with a
masterful social comedy that happens to be about criminals (and other
fast operators). He's a master of snappy dialogue and dizzying plot twists. The best parts of Get Shorty
move along so briskly you almost forget there's somebody with a firm
control over the story. And you'll be rooting for Chili to get the
money, the girl, and the studio deal. --Ron Hogan
