Published in 1993, this is the tale of Harry Arno and his embezzled millions, which he takes to Italy in an attempt to outrun not only the mob but a U. S. Marshall he's made a fool of not once, but twice. The Marshall, Raylan Givens, figured out where Harry's hiding out and appears in Rapallo only moments ahead of Nicky the faux-gunman, Nicky's stone killer boss Zip, and at the same time Harry's girlfriend Joyce (who Harry may, or then again may not, marry). With Leonard's signature spare but spot-on dialogue and masterful detail, this afternoon read will satisfy. A 5.
