Book Review: Killshot by Elmore Leonard

Synopsis: An iron worker interfers with an extortion/robbery and thus draws the attention of a mafia hitman and his moron accomplice.

This book is something of a departure from the other Leonard books I've read. The others were almost entirely about a single crime and it's fallout. This one follows more of a thriller-type formula. It was an exciting read. The moronic villain--whose name escapes me now--added quite a bit because there was no telling what he would do next.

And this the only Leonard book I've read where the hero is not a US Marshal. There is a Marshal, but he's more a villain than any other Marshal I've seen in a Leonard book.
