About the book
Driven by terrific characters and superb writing, these short pieces (including two novella-length works) are Elmore Leonard at his economical best. In this collection of short fiction, Elmore Leonard demonstrates the superb characterizations, dead-on dialogue, vivid atmosphere, and driving plotting that have made him a household name. And once more, this master of crime illustrates that the line between the law and the lawbreakers is not as firm as we might think.
Subjects: American Detective and mystery stories, Fiction, Short stories, Raylan Givens (Fictitious character)
