Produktbeschreibung
The revered New York Times bestselling author, recognized as America's greatest crime writer (Newsweek), brings back U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the mesmerizing hero of Pronto, Riding the Rap, and the hit FX series Justified.

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's chump change compared to the quarter million a human body can get youespecially when it's sold off piece by piece.

So when Dickie and Coover Crowe, dope-dealing brothers known for sampling their own supply, decide to branch out into the body business, it's up to U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens to stop them. But Raylan isn't your average marshal; he's 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's making the cuts, he's lying naked in a bathtub, with Layla, the cool transplant nurse, about to go for his kidneys.

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's 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.

Dark and droll, Raylan is pure Elmore Leonarda page-turner filled with the sparkling dialogue and sly suspense that are the hallmarks of this modern master.

Rezensionen

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung - Rezension
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung | Besprechung von 27.01.2013

Bücher Er ist inzwischen 87, wirkt nach mehr als vierzig Romanen kein bisschen müde, und sein Held, dem der Revolver locker sitzt, würde vermutlich sofort ziehen, wenn man "Raylan" (Suhrkamp, 19,95 Euro) mit diesem deutschen Spießerbegriff einen "Krimi" nennen würde. Nur weil in Elmore Leonards Roman ein Marshal ermittelt, weil in Kentucky viel Dope an- und wenig Kohle abgebaut wird und auch noch eine Krankenschwester mit Spendernieren handelt, geht es nicht zu wie beim "Tatort". Allerdings hat Leonard diesmal ein paar Handlungsfäden zu viel verknüpfen wollen. Doch selbst ein etwas schwächeres Leonard-Buch lohnt unbedingt die Lektüre.

Leonard's dizzyingly economical style, packed with information and never wasting a word, continues apace in this unusual case. SUNDAY HERALD 20130217
