From the back cover:
"Black Ordell Robbie and white Louis Gara have lots in common - time in the same slammer, convictions for grand theft auto, and a plan for the big score. They're going to snatch the wife of a Detroit developer and collect some easy ransom money. They don't figure on a bum of a husband who has a secret mistress and no desire to get his wife back. Or on his crazy, beautiful broad of a housewife who's going to join Ordell and Louis in the slickest, savviest crime of all."
Review:
Leonard's trademark waste-no-words plotting, character-based twists, and slick dialogue and action make Switch a perfect for the crime genre novel. This is an excellent read.
