Road Dogs by Elmore Leonard

Rating: WARTY!

"While serving time, bank robber Jack Foley" Stop it right there, I want to get off the bus. 'Jack' is the most ridiculously over-used name ever in this kind of novel and it's an immediate no for me. A Foley on the other hand is a device for draining urine from someone's bladder, so maybe Elmore is just taking the piss out of you? Is it really Elmore Leonard, BTW, or is it instead, Leonard Elmore?
