“Road Dogs is terrific, and Elmore Leonard is in a class of one.”—Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island and Mystic River “You know from the first sentence that you’re in the hands of the original Daddy Cool....This one’ll kill you.”—Stephen King Elmore Leonard is eternal. In Road Dogs, the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award winner and “America’s greatest crime master” (Newsweek) brings back three of his favorite characters—Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from La Brava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap—for a twisting, explosive, always surprising masterwork of crime fiction the San Francisco Chronicle calls, “a sly, violent, funny and superbly written story of friendship, greed, and betrayal.” --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

"Road Dogs" is my first Elmore Leonard book so I can't compare it to any of his previous books. My review is for any others who are new to Elmore Leonard and want to start with this book. I should have been prepared, having seen the movies based on Get Shorty and Be Cool, but this book was not what I was expecting. I enjoyed it and think anyone who is already a fan of his work will love this one too.The book is very much character driven and these people are real characters. With only a couple exceptions, they are all criminals; but even the ones who aren't criminals are at least a little bent. The three main characters are all making return appearances from previous books. I assume that anyone who has read those books will have an edge in understanding and caring about those characters. Even without reading the previous books, there is plenty of information for the new reader to get the measure of these characters - at least as much as the author wants you to know. There is always a question in your mind as to whether they are sincere in what they are saying or if (when?) they're going to turn on each other. It takes a lot of talent to turn a bunch of criminals into characters a reader cares about but the author does just that. Jack, Cundo, Dawn and Little Jimmy are much more likeable than Lou Adams and the few other "straight" characters.This is not a book with long descriptive passages of elegant prose. The reader primarily learns about the characters and the locations by what the characters say, do and think. When they speak, they have very distinctive voices. I'm not sure there is a physical description of Jack Foley.
