    The feds want Miami bookmaker Harry Arno to squeal on his wiseguy boss. So they're putting word out on the street that Arno's skimming profits from "Jimmy Cap" Capotorto-- which he is, but everybody does it. He was planning to retire to Italy someday anyway, so Harry figures now's a good time to get lost. U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens knows Harry's tricky-- the bookie ditched him once in an airport while in the marshal's custody-- but not careful. So Raylan's determined to find the fugitive's Italian hideaway before a cold-blooded Sicilian "Zip" does and whacks Arno for fun. After all, it's a "pride thing., ."and it might even put Raylan in good stead with Harry's sexy ex-stripper girlfriend Joyce.

    Many imitate him, but none can match his prowess. He has established the benchmark for crime novels, characterized by tight suspense, sharp dialogue, and keen wit. In "Riding The Rap," Elmore Leonard reaffirms his status as "the greatest living writer of crime fiction" ("The New York Times"). U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is on the hunt for fugitive felons when he learns that Harry Arno has vanished again. Raylan suspects Harry's disappearance is a ploy to win back his ex-lover, Joyce, who now seems more concerned about Harry than Raylan. The last person to see Harry is Dawn Navarro, a young psychic who raises Raylan's suspicions about Harry's fate. Meanwhile, Chip Ganz devises a scheme to make millions by "taking hostages," which he explains to his accomplices, Louis Lewis and Bobby Deo. Chip's plan involves Harry, who must devise a way to pay the ransom while blindfolded and chained. As Raylan narrows down Harry's location, he faces challenges in obtaining a warrant. As the situation escalates, Chip's plan begins to unravel, setting the stage for an unforgettable showdown.

    El agente judicial Raylan Givens es un hombre de pocas palabras, conocido por su sombrero vaquero y su facilidad para desenfundar. Su debilidad son las mujeres a las que dedica sus mejores modales, pero en los ambientes en los que se mueve no se encuentra precisamente a lo mejor del género femenino. Siguiendo la pista de un narcotraficante, víctima de una red que extorsiona y trafica con órganos, Raylan se topará con Layla, una enfermera cuya ética profesional deja mucho que desear; o Carol Conlan, una abogada al servicio de una compañía minera cuya falta de escrúpulos le lleva mucho más allá de la ley en su negociación con los trabajadores; o Jackie Nevada, una estudiante que frecuenta las partidas ilegales de póquer; o tres atracadoras de banco que trabajan para Delroy Lewis, el dueño de un garito que ha jurado matar a Raylan después de que lo enviara a prisión. Plantaciones de marihuana, traficantes de órganos, mineros afectados por la contaminación, timbas ilegales, corredores de apuestas, criadores de caballos, delincuentes sin el menor rasgo de humanidad y mujeres fatales se entrecruzan esta nueva obra de Elmore Leonard, el gran maestro de la novela negra norteamericana.

  • Fire in the Hole

    In this superb short fiction collection, Elmore Leonard, “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (New York Times Book Review), once again illustrates how the line between the law and the lawbreakers is not as firm as we might think. In the title story, the basis for the hit FX series Justified, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens meets up with an old friend, but they’re now on different sides of the law. Federal marshal Karen Sisco, from Out of Sight, returns in “Karen Makes Out,” once again inadvertently mixing pleasure with business. In “When the Women Come Out to Dance,” Mrs. Mahmood gets more than she bargains for when she conspires with her maid to end her unhappy marriage. These nine stories are the great Elmore Leonard at his vivid, hilarious, and unfailingly human best.

    Il mondo è quello dello show-business, che per Elmore Leonard vuol dire tutto il mondo: dal cinema hollywoodiano allo sport, dal rodeo allo strip-tease, dai gironi dell'immigrazione clandestina alle sette nazi-punk, con sconfinamenti nel selvaggio West. Il clima è quello esilarante, allucinato, della sua migliore narrativa: dialoghi laconici e folgoranti, situazioni paradossali e tragiche, eroi sempre in bilico tra legge e illegalità. Protagoniste sono le donne. Che devono affrontare innamorati banditi, mariti criminali o agenti delle assicurazioni troppo ligi al dovere. E li affrontano con le armi della seduzione, con una sessualità dirompente, con astuzia e coraggio e, all'occorrenza, con una calibro 45 o un fucile a pompa.
