About this listen

Ironworker Wayne Colson and his spirited wife Carmen are witnesses to a shakedown scam — witnesses who must be eliminated. Enter Armand Degas (a.k.a. Blackbird), the brains of the operation, and his partner Richie Nix, an ex-con whose highest goal is to rob a bank in every state. After the Colsons enter the Federal Witness Security Program, a lively chase ensues — with two bumbling but determined killers on Wayne and Carmen's trail.

With its dead-on dialogue, memorable characters, and absolute authenticity, Killshot is one of Elmore Leonard's all-time great novels.

Great book. Elmore Leonard really had a way with crime thrillers. There will never be another like him.

Excellent

The characterisations are just superb. Very good narration too. If you like crime novels that really get into the characters, this is for you.

Classic Leonard, superbly written characters.

Why do all the women in this story have wining voices, even the main, tough, female character? It ruins the whole story, which is great in itself.

Great story, weird narration

good story, performance better, plot a bit linear but classic Elmore Leonard I would recommend

Talk about unbearable tension. I kept getting so worked up by the story that I just wanted to skip to the end to escape. No one can build the pressure like Elmore can. I'm going to order another one of his soon but not right away. I'll need time for the panicky feeing to wear off.

Heart attack stuff
