A true Leonard classic, \u003cem\u003eThe Big Bounce\u003c\/em\u003e showcases all of the Grand Master's acclaimed skills--twisty plotting, unforgettable characters, dialogue so razor sharp it could draw blood--as he chronicles the misadventures of a larcenous young man in a Michigan resort town who's irresistibly drawn to a dangerous femme fatale, a rich man's plaything, and the nasty little caper they plan to pull off together--if they can somehow manage to survive each other.
