A rediscovered Elmore Leonard classic, \u003cem\u003eThe Moonshine War\u003c\/em\u003e is a wild ride bursting with the author's hallmark delights: the twisty plot, the gripping suspense, the wit and, of course, the razor-sharp dialogue. It's no wonder that the creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens--lately the star of the hit TV series \u003cem\u003eJustified\u003c\/em\u003e--is always listed among the mystery and crime fiction elite, including John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M.
