The Big Bounce is a crime novel written by Elmore Leonard, published in 1969.
The author's first attempt at the crime genre after having met success with westerns, it was adapted twice into film. It is also Leonard's first book starring the character of Jack Ryan (no relation to Tom Clancy's character of the same name), who would return eight years later in Unknown Man No. 89.[1]
