Leo needs to visit a bar frequented by crooks. All the plans in the world, however, can’t cope with the unknown element.īrubaker’s skilled in creating a sympathetic veneer for Leo via his caring for his father’s ex-partner, now suffering from dementia, and instantly letting you know the world he occupies via a neat turn of phrase, or a clever name. He’s not afraid to stand up to Seymour’s quick on the trigger ally, police or not, and he’s one meticulous planner. In other respects, though, Leo has some balls. “He doesn’t just walk away from trouble,” explains Seymour, “he runs”. The title applies to Leo, but doesn’t fit like a pair of cement boots.
The trouble is that when he last worked with Seymour five years previously, people died. They have a diamond heist planned, and want an extremely reluctant Leo on board. Leo has a relatively comfortable life until he runs into an old partner, Seymour, now allied with a crooked cop.
Minimise the risk, and don’t end up like your bank robber father. They may be there due to violent or dishonest tendencies, or they may be that crime fiction standby, the poor schmuck whipped up in escalating events beyond their control. This is biographical fiction about someone on the wrong side of the law. The title tells you everything you need to know. It’s been in print for over a decade, attracting new buyers with every new edition as word continues to spread. They’re both incredibly good, and Brubaker and Sean Phillips’ Criminal series about sets the benchmark.
