Literary written all over it. Mix of 50s and 80s serious novels.

Odd choice, suppose the marketing people can coherently support it. Color looks awful dull from anything current.

I don’t give a shit about the cover, the insides what matters.

And now for something completely different.

I’m indifferent.

Physically painful. Sorry, Mr. Leonard, but I know you want the truth.

Nice cover but have nothing to do with EL story.

Wait one of the characters in the book is an actual Somali pirate ?

I didnt see that part in the synopsis with the other characters like Saudi,Texan,Miami terrorist.

I geuss this book wont be as quirky,fun as usual ?  The pirate,terrorist angle is pretty serious,dark stuff.

I gotta say also, that I’m disappointed with this cover.  The marketing people screwed the pooch on this one.

Nice, another novelist among us.
Welcome.

Will have to definitely check out peopleofwalmart.com.

Southern novelists and southern novels fascinate this so cal yankee.
New one called Crooked Letter Crooked Letter looks promising.
