Stick - Elmore Leonard - Bog

After serving time for armed robbery, Ernest ?Stick? Stickley is back on the outside and trying to stay legit. But it's tough staying straight in a crooked town?and Miami is a pirate's paradise, where investment fat cats and lowlife drug dealers hold hands and dance. And when a crazed player chooses Stick at random to die for another man's sins, the struggling ex-con is left with no choice but to dive right back into the game. Stick knows a good thing when he sees it?and a golden opportunity to run a very profitable sweet-revenge scam seems much too tasty to pass up.
