• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The star of JUSTIFIED returns in a stunning new novel from 'the greatest crime writer who ever lived' [Dennis Lehane].

US Marshal Raylan Givens, star of the series JUSTIFIED, and protagonist of RIDING THE RAP, PRONTO and the story 'Fire in the Hole', is back in action, this time with a federal warrant to serve on a dope dealer named Angel Arenas, a man 'born in the U.S. but a hundred percent of him Hispanic'. The state troopers are impressed when the marshal struts into the convict's hotel room without drawing his gun, but Raylan soon finds that Angel's already been the victim of another crime, one that's way bigger than a few pot plants, and clearly the work of a professional ...

RAYLAN shows Elmore Leonard at the height of his powers, as we follow one of his favourite protagonists through a series of adventures with unlikely villains. As ever, the work is filled with unexpected twists and the most vibrant, crackling dialogue currently available in the English language.

Rezensionen

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
