Originally published as When the Women
Came Out to Dance, Elmore Leonard’s extraordinary story collection, Fire
in the Hole reconfirms his standing as the “King Daddy of crime
writers” (Seattle Times) – a true Grand Master in the legendary company
of John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain. These nine riveting
tales of crime and (sometimes) punishment – including the title story starring
U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, which was the basis for the smash hit TV series
Justified – feature all the elements that have made the great Elmore Leonard
great: superb writing, unforgettable characters, breathtaking twists, and the
sharpest, coolest dialogue in the mystery-thriller genre.
