There no lack of excitement and suspense--and the trademark Leonard dialogue--in this superior tale of a fugitive hiding under the radar in Israel, until a well-publicized Good Samaritan act attracts the unwanted attention of well-armed Motown mobsters who are now coming to get him. The author who introduced the world to U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (in his novels \u003cem\u003ePronto\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRiding the Rap\u003c\/em\u003e, before the lawman became the star of the hit TV drama \u003cem\u003eJustified\u003c\/em\u003e), the Grand Master shows why the \u003cem\u003eFt. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel \u003c\/em\u003ecalls him \"the all-time king of the whack job crime novelists,\" and goes on to say that \"Elmore Leonard tops them all\"...including John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert B. Parker, and quite possibly every major mystery writer the U.S. has ever produced.\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.
