Review title: Here's How He Does It. . .
Product review: Elmore Leonard has an ear for character. He usually starts with a bad good guy and immediately adds a 'good' and very desirable woman. Then we meet one or two really bad guys and a couple of less good good guys. There's usually a not-so-good desirable woman and one or two totally off-the-charts whackos.This is not to say that Leonard writes to a formula. It's just that he, like Jimmy Breslin and Vladimir Nabokov Walter Moseley and a few dozen others, returns to the people he loves.His characters in this book are well-drawn. Jack and Lucy are the heart of the matter-the bad good guy and the good hot woman. They are involved with sleazeleeches who are hustling American right-wingers for cash under pretext of fighting communists in Central America. The action is a bit slow, but the characters and the suspense make up for it.Lynn Hoffman, author of Bang Bang
