The Big Bounce: A Novel

"The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!" - New York Times Book ReviewWhen the all-time greats of mystery/noir/crime fiction are mentioned (John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, etc.) , Elmore Leonard's name invariably tops the list. A true Leonard classic, The Big Bounce showcases all of the Grand Master's acclaimed skills - twisty plotting, unforgettable characters, dialogue so razor sharp it could draw blood - as he chronicles the misadventures of a larcenous young man in a Michigan resort town who's irresistibly drawn to a dangerous femme fatale, a rich man's plaything, and the nasty little caper they plan to pull off together - if they can somehow manage to survive each other. The acclaimed creator of Raylan (aka U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV's smash hit Justified) , Leonard has never lost the mojo that makes him "the King Daddy of crime writers" (Seattle Times) .
