Synopsis

“Elmore Leonard can write circles around almost anybody active in the crime novel today.”
—New York Times Book ReviewWith more than forty novels to his credit and still going strong, the legendary Elmore Leonard has well earned the title, “America’s greatest crime writer” (Newsweek). And U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Pronto, Riding the Rap, Fire in the Hole) is one of Leonard’s most popular creations, thanks in part to the phenomenal success of the hit TV series “Justified.” Leonard’s Raylan shines a spotlight once again on the dedicated, if somewhat trigger-happy lawman, this time in his familiar but not particularly cozy milieu of Harlan County, Kentucky, where the drug dealing Crowe brothers are branching out into the human body parts business. Suspenseful, darkly wry and riveting, and crackling with Leonard’s trademark electric dialogue, Raylan is prime Grand Master Leonard as you have always loved him and always will.

I've long been a huge fan of the books of Elmore Leonard, and I've also really enjoyed the television series, "Justified," which is based on Leonard's excellent short story, "Fire in the Hole."

Goodreads review by Frank on February 26, 2022

I've been a fan of Elmore Leonard going back to the 1980's when I read several of his crime novels. In recent years, I became a big fan of the TV show JUSTIFIED which is based on Elmore's character Raylan Givens...I really hated to see it end! This is the third novel in which Givens appears and it w......more
