Items related to Raylan
US Marshal Raylan Givens, star of the series JUSTIFIED, and protagonist of RIDING THE RAP, PRONTO, and the story 'FIRE IN THE HOLE', is back in action, this time with a federal warrant to serve on a dope dealer named Angel Arenas, a man 'born in the U.S. but a hundred percent of him Hispanic'. The state troopers are impressed when the marshal struts into the convict's hotel room without drawing his gun, but Raylan soon finds that Angel's already been the victim of another crime, one that's way bigger than a few pot plants, and clearly the work of a professional...RAYLAN shows Elmore Leonard at the height of his powers, as we follow one of his favorite protagonists through a series of adventures with unlikely villains. As ever, the work is filled with unexpected twists and the most vibrant, crackling dialogue currently available in the English language. (Large Print Edition)

Review:
"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

With a practised ease and the craft of more than half a century of novelistic composition, Leonard works like the Picasso of crime fiction . . . "Raylan" is as close as it gets to creating the complete illusion of unmediated entertainment on the page. --San Francisco Chronicle"
