Synopsis
Carl Webster, the star of Elmore Leonard's THE HOT KID, returns, this time doggedly pursuing a pair of escaped German POWs who have holed up in Detroit under the protection of a German butcher. Complicating matters are two women: a Nazi spy, Vera Mezwa, and Webster's ex-wife, the incorrigible and irresistible Honey Deal. As with all Leonard's work, the characters are vivid and pungent, the dialogue blows the dust off your brain, and the plot is as smooth as molasses. Tough, sharp, and cool in all the best ways--UP IN HONEY'S ROOM is a book to be read with enormous pleasure.

Industry Reviews
"It's as if the best of Mel Brooks and Quentin Tarantino were refined into something finer and purer....If there is a little more slapstick and a little less crime here than usual, it hardly matters. The talk's the thing, and Leonard hooks you with his first quotation mark." (starred review)
