Inhaltsangabe:
The New York Times-bestselling Grand Master of suspense deftly displays the other side of his genius, with thirty classic western tales of destiny and fatal decision . . . and trust as essential to survival as it is hard-earned.
Trust was rare and precious in the wide-open towns that sprung up like weeds on America’s frontier―with hustlers and hucksters arriving in droves by horse, coach, wagon, and rail, and gunfighters and outlaws working both sides of the law, all too eager to end a man’s life with a well-placed bullet. In this landmark collection of classic westerns that spans more than five decades―including the first story he ever published, “The Trail of the Apache”―Elmore Leonard once again demonstrates the superb talent for language and gripping narrative that have made him one of the most acclaimed and influential writers of our time.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Elmore Leonard wrote more than forty books during his long career, including the bestsellers Raylan, Tishomingo Blues, Be Cool, Get Shorty, and Rum Punch, as well as the acclaimed collection When the Women Come Out to Dance, which was a New York Times Notable Book. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty and Out of Sight. The short story “Fire in the Hole,” and three books, including Raylan, were the basis for the FX hit show Justified. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He died in 2013.
