Killshot: Caught in the Crossfire―Classic American Crime Noir Thriller

• Used Book in Good Condition

<p>“[Leonard has] written so many first-rate crime stories that it would be fatuous to say <em>Killshot</em> is his best, but it probably is anyway.”<br />—<em>Newsweek</em></p><p>The <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author the <em>Pittsburgh Post-Gazette</em> once called, “the Alexander the Great of crime fiction,” Elmore Leonard is responsible for creating some of the sharpest dialogue, most compelling characters (including U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV’s <em>Justified</em> fame), and, quite simply, some of the very best suspense novels written over the past century. <em>Killshot</em> is prime Leonard—a riveting story of a husband and wife caught in the crossfire when they foil a criminal act and are forced to defend themselves when the legal system fails them from the murderous wrath of a pair of vengeful killers. When it comes to cops and criminals stories, <em>Killshot</em> and Leonard are as good as it gets—further proof why “the King Daddy of crime writers” (<em>Seattle Times</em>) deserves his current place among John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and the other legendary greats of the noir fiction genre.<br /></p>
