the Barnes & Noble Review

if He Weren't Known As A Master Of Crime Fiction, Elmore Leonard Would Be Recognized As One Of Our Best Writers Of Romantic Comedy.

In The Movies Now, Romantic Comedies Are Little More Than Oprah-ized Discussions On The State Of Our Relationships, Therapy Sessions With An Implied Laugh Track. At Heart, Though, Romantic Comedy Has Always Been A Tough-minded Genre. Even When The Couple Had Passed The Tests Before Them, The Fade-outs Usually Offered Only The Certainty That What Lay In Front Of These New Lovers Was The Hard Work Of Living. At Its Best -- the Lady Eve, Holiday, Or Even The Recent ghost Town -- Romantic Comedy Is Not For Wimps.

Overview :

Jack Foley and Cundo Rey are road dogs: trusted jailhouse comrades watching each other's back. They're so tight, Cundo's using his own money and his shark lady lawyer to get Foley's sentence reduced from thirty years to three months. And when Jack gets out, the wealthy Cuban criminal wants him to stay in Cundo's multimillion dollar Venice Beach house—right across from the one where Cundo's common-law wife, professional psychic Dawn Navarro, resides. There will certainly be some payback expected, though Jack can't figure out what. Sexy Dawn's intentions are a lot clearer. But Cundo's coming home earlier than anticipated, and Jack smells a double-cross cooking—the kind that could turn a road dog into road kill.
