Armand Degas is a Mafia hit man the guys call Blackbird. He is cool and composed and knows a good score. So when punk crook Richie Nix tells him about his surefire scheme to extort $10,000 from a middle-of-nowhere Michigan real estate agent, Armand signs on.

What the two thugs don't count on is Carmen Colson and her ironworker husband, Wayne, being in the real estate office when they go in to collect. Now Carmen and Wayne know too much and Armand has no intention of letting them survive t... (show more)

Armand Degas is a Mafia hit man the guys call Blackbird. He is cool and composed and knows a good score. So when punk crook Richie Nix tells him about his surefire scheme to extort $10,000 from a middle-of-nowhere Michigan real estate agent, Armand signs on.

What the two thugs don't count on is Carmen Colson and her ironworker husband, Wayne, being in the real estate office when they go in to collect. Now Carmen and Wayne know too much and Armand has no intention of letting them survive to tell about it.

Wayne's sure the local cops are going to fumble the manhunt, and the best the feds can offer is the Witness Security Program. Now it's come down to one man, one woman, and two killers ... and someone's bound to end up on the wrong end of the gun. (show less)

This is a thriller. Not his usual landscape, but Leonard once again paints with the panache of a master artist. Adrenaline-soaked on every page, just try to put it down. First-rate entertainment. (show less)

It was alright. I didn't hate it. I wasn't overwhelmed by it, certainly. Elmore Leonard is a highly regarded crime-fiction author, and based on this novel, I wonder why. It's pretty good...but just pretty good. I'm interested to see the movie. (show less)

    Quality crime thriller from the maestro himself. Much darker than his usual tone of writing, but just as funny, witty and snappy as his other recent reads.

  • An excellent thriller. Well written with surprisingly deep characters for this type of book. Leonard's style is quite evocative, making the reader really experience the characters' anger and fear.

    Which do you think is better - the book or the movie?

    Killshot is a pretty incredible movie... and book! I would almost always say book versions are better than movies, but this time, I'm torn.

    Which do you think was better?
