Fashion photographer Laura is gaining fame by shooting her exclusive models, full of erotic charge, on the streets of the metropolis, where violence and crime reign.
Suddenly, under strange circumstances, several of Laura's friends are killed. He is in a panic, because he experiences every murder in his consciousness, like the eye of a camera.
Four men - a professor, a doctor, a gallery owner and an aristocrat - are swindled out of a million pounds by stockbroker Harvey Metcalfe. They team up for revenge, aiming to recover exactly what they lost through a series of ingeniously devised scams.
A cult bestseller praised for its originality, deep emotion, and tender portrayal of love and loss, Audrey Niffenegger's story has captivated readers around the world and, following its film adaptation, has been adapted for television.
The novel is a typical Leonard crime novel: fast-paced, eccentric characters, unexpected twists, a mix of violence and comedy. The book is an entertaining, cynical critique of the American South and human greed, with a touch of the blues in its soul.
