Signed first edition of Elmore Leonard’s last book.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
The revered New York Times bestselling author, recognized as \u201cAmerica\u2019s greatest crime writer\u201d (Newsweek), brings back U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the mesmerizing hero of Pronto, Riding the Rap, and the hit FX series Justified.<\/p>\n
With the closing of the Harlan County, Kentucky, coal mines, marijuana has become the biggest cash crop in the state. A hundred pounds of it can gross $300,000, but that\u2019s chump change compared to the quarter million a human body can get you\u2014especially when it\u2019s sold off piece by piece.<\/p>\n
So when Dickie and Coover Crowe, dope-dealing brothers known for sampling their own supply, decide to branch out into the body business, it\u2019s up to U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens to stop them. But Raylan isn\u2019t your average marshal; he\u2019s the laconic, Stetson-wearing, fast-drawing lawman who juggles dozens of cases at a time and always shoots to kill. But by the time Raylan finds out who\u2019s making the cuts, he\u2019s lying naked in a bathtub, with Layla, the cool transplant nurse, about to go for his kidneys.<\/p>\n
The bad guys are mostly gals this time around: Layla, the nurse who collects kidneys and sells them for ten grand a piece; Carol Conlan, a hard-charging coal-mine executive not above ordering a cohort to shoot point-blank a man who\u2019s standing in her way; and Jackie Nevada, a beautiful sometime college student who can outplay anyone at the poker table and who suddenly finds herself being tracked by a handsome U.S. marshal.<\/p>\n
Dark and droll, Raylan is pure Elmore Leonard\u2014a page-turner filled with the sparkling dialogue and sly suspense that are the hallmarks of this modern master.<\/p>\n
