Road Dogs

Road Dogs by Elmore Leonard, 262 pages.

Bank robber extraordinaire, Jack Foley (last seen in 1996's Out of Sight) is able to get his thirty-year sentence reduced, and a couple of other charges dropped thanks to a lawyer hired by his road-dog, Cundo, last of the cocaine cowboys. Cundo is doing seven-and-a-half years on a murder charge that this same lawyer, Megan Norris, got reduced from first to second-degree. A road-dog, apparently, is the one with whom you serve time, the one who has your back, if you are not part of a gang. Foley has the charm, and Cundo has the money to keep them relatively trouble-free in Florida's Glade's Correctional. So the trouble starts once they get out. Cundo's girlfriend, Dawn, who may or may not be a psychic, may or may not be waiting to steal his money, is at the heart of the trouble. And Cundo himself, who may or may not expect Foley to come up with some way of repaying the tens of thousands of dollars in lawyer's fees, is a troubling question mark for Foley as well.
