Synopsis
Despite his silky smoothness, Jack Foley has still managed to land in prison. He soon escapes, but then has the bad luck to run into deputy U.S. marshal Karen Sisco. He stuffs her into the trunk of the getaway car driven by his friend Buddy, but being a gentleman as well as a wanted man, climbs in with her. An odd first date, it works until Sisco escapes and heads up the party looking for the jailbird. But he's already on his way to Detroit where he has a heist-ready gang of pals expecting him. A classic Leonard tale of crime, caper, and fun.

Publisher's Note
Deputy U.S. marshal Karen Sisco is just stopping off to serve a summons and complaint on Florida's Glades Prison. She's all decked out in her black Chanel suit and heels, but ready with her pump-action shotgun when the breakout begins, minutes after she pulls into the prison parking lot. But she's not ready for Jack Foley, the celebrity con who disarms her, invites her to climb into the trunk of her own car, and then joins her as his pal Buddy guns the blue Caprice onto the highway, heading for freedom. Squeezed into a trunk littered with handcuffs and tactical gear, the escapee bank robber is a perfect gentleman who shares her passion for movies and wonders if it would be different if they'd met in a bar. Karen escapes and they do meet again. Only this time she's part of the federal task force hunting the escapees. This time she's sitting in the bar of the Detroit Westin, nursing a sour mash and watching a blizzard outside. This time Foley finds her. First come cocktails and conversation. Then Time Out. In Karen's suite. "You like taking risks", she says. "So do I". Next morning Foley's gone and Karen's out to get him. She cruises Detroit's mean streets and boxing hangouts looking for Foley, Buddy, and a hard case named Maurice, one step behind them as they plot the biggest heist of their careers - and a double cross that will leave only one man holding the goods. This time Karen means business as she races toward a hair-raising climax that careens pell-mell into suspense-writing history.
In his latest work, the unrivaled master of the crime novel once again breaks all the rules as he redefines the standards of the art. Out of Sight crackles with originality and wicked brilliance, displaying all the razor-sharp dialogue, inimitable wit, and memorable characters who have become the signature of "our greatest crime novelist...the best in the business" (The Washington Post).Deputy U.S. Marshal Karen Sisco is just stopping off to serve a summons and complaint on Floridas Glades Prison.

Industry reviews
"As usual, Mr. Leonard weaves an absorbing story full of offbeat characters, funny incidents, vivid locales, dialogue that jumps off the page and curious inside information about the criminal world..."
New York Times - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt (08/15/1996)

"As in the best of Leonard, this is a book of continual surprise, exemplified by a chance meeting of two of the central characters in a revolving restaurant atop a Detroit hotel, and extraordinary violence, as in the callous murders of three junkies in a dope house. Leonard never romanticizes violence: It is routinely cruel, beyond the comprehension of law-abiding people."
Philadelphia Inquirer - Lee Winfrey (08/11/1996)

"Leonard is on target. He can write people talking the way no one else on Earth can....Leonard is on target, and when he hits the bulls-eye, he hits it cleanly."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Ed McBain (08/25/1996)
