  • "From the Publisher: The Odd Thing about Walter Schoen, German born but now running a butcher shop in Detroit, he's a dead ringer for Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and the Gestapo. Honey Deal, Walter's American wife, doesn't know that Walter is a member of a spy ring and gives shelter to escaped German POWs. But she's tired of telling him jokes he doesn't understand-it's time for a divorce. Along comes Carl Webster, the Hot Kid of the Marshals Service. He's looking for Jurgen Schrenk. Carl's pretty sure Walter's involved with keeping Schrenk hidden so he gets to know Honey, hoping she'll lead him to Walter. Honey likes the hot kid marshal and doesn't much care that he's married. But all Carl wants is to get Jurgen without getting shot. Next, Carl meets Vera Mezwa, the Ukrainian head of the spy ring, and her lover Bohdan, with a sly way of killing. And then there's Otto-the Waffen-SS major who runs away with a nice Jewish girl. It's Elmore Leonard's world-gritty, funny, and full of surprises."

  • "Walter Schoen, boucher à Detroit, d'origine allemande, pense qu'il est le jumeau d'Himmler, dont on l'aurait séparé à la naissance. Honey, son ex-femme, n'a jamais su grand-chose de ses activités d'espionnage. Sur la piste de Jürgen Schrenk, un officier nazi évadé d'un camp de prisonniers de l'Oklahoma, Cab Webster pense que Walter le cache et espère que Honey pourra l'aider à le retrouver."

Honey Deal, Walter's American wife, doesn't know that Walter is a member of a spy ring that sends US war production data to Germany and gives shelter to escaped German prisoners of war.

  • "Set in the waning days of WWII, bestseller Leonard's disappointing 40th novel finds gunslinging U.S. marshal Carl Webster, introduced in 2005's The Hot Kid, on the trail of Jurgen Schrenk and Otto Penzler, German POWs escaped from their Okmulgee, Okla., detention camp. The pair wind up in Detroit in the care of Walter Schoen, a butcher and Himmler look-alike, with whose ex-wife, wisecracking bottle-blonde Honey Deal, Carl soon finds himself smitten. While married Carl contemplates breaking his marriage vows (Honey does anything but dissuade him), Otto disappears and a dysfunctional German spy ring?led by hard-drinking Vera Mezwa and her cross-dressing manservant, Bohdan?cozies up with Jurgen. Vera and Bohdan, meanwhile, are secretly planning to disappear, but Bohdan wants to put in the ground anyone who could later give them up to the Feds. Leonard's writing?line by line?is as sharp as ever, but the plotting is uncharacteristically clunky and the pacing is stuck in low gear. Leonard has written a lot of great books, but this isn't one of them."@en
  • "Secretly passing intelligence through a spy ring while running a butcher shop in Detroit, German-born Walter Schoen becomes estranged from his wife and is targeted by Marshal Carl Webster, who believes Schoen is hiding an escaped prisoner of war."
