Maximum Bob
by Leonard, Elmore
E-book extras: "Martin Amis Interviews 'The Dickens of Detroit'"; Elmore Leonard's "If It Sounds Like Writing, Rewrite It"; "All By Elmore: The Crime Novels & The Westerns"; Selected FilmographyProbation officer Kathy Baker's clients, including "psycho Uncle Elvin," want to whack Palm Beach County judge Bob Isom Gibbs -- but all "Maximum Bob" cares about is getting Kathy in bed.Hard-ass Palm Beach County judge Bob Isom Gibbs enjoys sending even petty offenders away to do hard time -- which has made the list of miscreants who want him dead longer than a fully grown Florida gator's tail. And a good number of his ill-wishers are probation officer Kathy Baker's clients, including young Dale Crowe and his psycho uncle Elvin. Now, Kathy's got an even more daunting task than keeping BIG's horny hands off her: keeping "Maximum Bob" alive. Because Gibbs's many enemies seem to be willing to go to any lengths -- be it death by amphibian or some more tried-and-true method -- to permanently end the career of an oversexed, racist jurist who's more interested in scoring than in saving his own red neck.

Elmore Leonard is one of the best authors in the business, this is so much fun to read, his characters and his story lines are so unexpected that you keep being surprised and entertained all the time. If you like reading good stories with great characters, read any Elmore Leonard book.
