Raylan - Hardcover

"A punchy mix of crime and Kentucky coal-mine sociology . . . It's one of Leonard's best thrillers in years."--Entertainment Weekly

"In addition to kinetic storytelling and spot-on dialogue, Leonard has a cool wit. . . . Characters roll from scene to scene, urged on by self-interest and greed, bumping against one another and building up steam until they're smashing together in orgies of violence."--New York Times Book Review

"[Leonard's] finely honed sentences can sound as flinty/poetic as Hemingway or as hard-boiled as Raymond Chandler. His ear for the way people talk--or should--is peerless."--Detroit News

"The smarter crooks give Raylan grudging respect; his fellow lawmen grant him their highest praise: 'You're doin' a job the way we like to see it done.' The same can be said of the 86-year-old Elmore Leonard."--Wall Street Journal

""Raylan" is Leonard's best of the 21st century--good stuff from first page to last."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
