Four novels of the 1970s : Fifty-two pickup. Swag.… door Elmore Leonard

Vlotlezende, op maat van netflix-series geschreven potboilers, niet altijd even zuiver qua verhaallijn of geloofwaardigheid, met enkele verrassende, soms ook doorzichtige terzijdes over de mores van de tijd (racisme, emancipatie, alcoholisme, ...) Spanning en intrige zijn van minder belang dan de wisselende (kracht)verhoudingen tussen de personages onderling.
