Leonard stands tall among the all-time greats (John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain) and towers far above most of the writers currently plying the noir fiction trade. The master who created U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, currently of the hit TV series \u003cem\u003eJustified\u003c\/em\u003e, is at the top of his game, ensnaring readers in an ingenious plot hatched by a former jewel thief and a radical ex-nun to scam millions from a sadistic Nicaraguan colonel. In fact, the \u003cem\u003ePhiladelphia Inquirer\u003c\/em\u003e says \u003cem\u003eBandits\u003c\/em\u003e \"may well be his best.\" Read it and decide for yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeonard, Elmore:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eElmore Leonard wrote more than forty books during his long career, including the bestsellers \u003cem\u003eRaylan\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTishomingo Blues\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBe Cool\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGet Shorty\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eRum Punch\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as the acclaimed collection \u003cem\u003eWhen the Women Come Out to Dance\u003c\/em\u003e, which was a \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e Notable Book.
