Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard [FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING]

Rum Pumch by Elmore Leonard FIRST EDITION / FIRST PRINTING [1992] DELACORTE PRESS  Hardcover with dust jacket in excellent condition.   Dj is very good w/ some light shelf wear and a bit of separation from plasticine coating along raised part of cover.   Book itself is like new.   Basis for Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown... Ordell Robbie makes a fine living selling illegal high-powered weaponry to the wrong people. Jackie Burke couriers Ordell's profits from Freeport to Miami. But the feds are on to Jackie - and now the aging, but still hot, flight attendant will have to do prison time or play ball, which makes her a prime 'loose end' that Ordell needs to tie up...permanently. Jackie, however, has other plans. And with the help of Max Cherry - an honest but disgruntled bail bondsman looking to get out - she could even end up with a serious nest egg in the process.  - Bookshop Apocalypse
