Rum Punch: A Novel

<p>“Powerful…clever…astonishing…a delicious read.” <br />—<em>Detroit Free Press</em></p><p><em>Rum Punch</em> is classic Elmore Leonard—the electrifying thriller that served as the basis for the acclaimed film <em>Jackie Brown</em> by director Quentin Tarantino, starring Pam Grier, Robert DeNiro, and Samuel L. Jackson. Leonard’s story of a not-altogether-blameless flight attendant on the run from her vicious gun-running sometime employer who sees her as a troublesome loose end, <em>Rum Punch</em> is “the King Daddy of crime writers” (<em>Seattle Times</em>) at his sharpest and most ingeniously entertaining. In fact, <em>People</em> magazine calls it, “Leonard’s best work. He brilliantly reaffirms his right to the title of America’s finest crime fiction writer.” Enjoy this sensational noir winner from the creator of the character of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV’s hit series <em>Justified</em>, and see why the great Elmore Leonard stands tall in the company of America’s most legendary crime fiction masters: John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, et al. <br /></p>
