KILLSHOT is Elmore Leonard at his very best. The story of a married couple being stalked by two would be killers -- a veteran hit man and an out-of-control punk -- is, like all of Leonard's books, not as interesting for the story as in the way he executes it. Like Hammett and Chandler, Leonard is less concerned with plot than setting, character.
"Killshot" is a fast-paced, edgy and action-filled novel with strong emphasis on character, which is what one expects from Elmore Leonard. Leonard effectively paints telling portraits complete with physical details, emotions and mannerisms, and he never short-changes on plot or suspense. This book hums along. Killshot is not like one of his forty-seven other books. In most of his writing, the criminals are bad to the bone, and inevitably, push too far the one cool, confident man or woman that will not back down. While Killshot retains Elmore Leonard’s brilliant, gritty characterizations, this novel has something more to it. Killshot is prime Leonard—a riveting story of a husband and wife caught in the crossfire when they foil a criminal act and are forced to defend themselves when the legal system fails them from the murderous wrath of a pair of vengeful killers.
