The unstoppable manhunter with the very itchy trigger finger stars in \u003cem\u003ePronto\u003c\/em\u003e, a crime fiction gem from the one and only Elmore Leonard, \"the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever\" (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e). The Grand Master justifies the overwhelming acclaim he has received over the course of his remarkable career with an electrifying thriller that sends the indomitable Raylan racing to Italy on the trail of a fugitive bookie who's hiding from the vengeful Miami mob. The legendary Leonard, whom the \u003cem\u003eSeattle Times\u003c\/em\u003e lauds as the \"King Daddy of crime writers,\" proves that all comparisons to American noir icons John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain are well deserved with this tale of very dirty doings and extremely dangerous men coming together in the birthplace of Puccini, Garibaldi, and La Cosa Nostra.\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.
