But Cable is determined that no one is going to take his future away--not with words, not with treachery, and not with guns.

Джек Фоули очень привлекателен: зрелый мужчина, хорош собой, неглуп, обходителен, как ни странно, порядочный человек. Оказывается, вовсе не обязательно быть полным мерзавцем, если живёшь не по правилам общества. А Карен Сиско молода и очень красива. Она объект постоянного внимания мужчин, знает себе цену, мечтает о федеральной карьере и службе в ФБР. Чувства ей не чужды, но из-за них она не пойдёт на нарушение закона, а свои маленькие грехи давно научилась себе прощать. Она охотно соглашается на краткую любовную связь со сбежавшим из тюрьмы преступником, но оба понимают, что у их отношений нет будущего. И не надо строить иллюзий. Джек свободолюбив и предпочёл бы погибнуть в перестрелке, а не во дворе тюрьмы при попытке побега. Но и тут ему не повезло: Текст сокращён и адаптирован. Уровень Intermediate. 16+

Touch is sensational suspense from the master of crime fiction, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard.

A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal. Maybe it was just coincidence, but Bill Hill—who used to run the spectacular Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs—can see dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic “touch.”

The trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful and an assortment of media leeches. But everyone who’s looking to put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise—because Juvenal’s got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming.

A wild ride with “the coolest, hottest writer in America” (Chicago Tribune), Bandits has everything Elmore Leonard fans love: non-stop thrills, unexpected twists and turns, unforgettable characters, and the most razor-sharp dialogue being rapidly exchanged anywhere in the crime fiction genre. Leonard stands tall among the all-time greats (John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain) and towers far above most of the writers currently plying the noir fiction trade. The master who created U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, currently of the hit TV series Justified, is at the top of his game, ensnaring readers in an ingenious plot hatched by a former jewel thief and a radical ex-nun to scam millions from a sadistic Nicaraguan colonel. In fact, the Philadelphia Inquirer says Bandits “may well be his best.” Read it and decide for yourself.

Over-the-hill former counter-culture SDS revolutionaries decide to turn bomb-making—and detonating—from a political statement to a profitable enterprise in the master Elmore Leonard’s electrifying and explosively funny thriller Freaky Deaky. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch calls Leonard, “the world’s greatest cops ‘n’ robbers novelist.” The Seattle Times says, “Leonard is more than just one of the all-time greats of crime fiction. He’s fast becoming an authentic American icon.” No matter where you wish to place the man who created the character of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV’s hit series Justified, in the pantheon of mystery and noir detective fiction demigods—John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain and the like—there is no denying that nobody does it better than the Grand Master Elmore Leonard
