“[Leonard has] written so many first-rate crime stories that it would be fatuous to say *Killshot* is his best, but it probably is anyway.”—*Newsweek*The *New York Times* bestselling author the *Pittsburgh Post-Gazette* 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 *Justified* fame), and, quite simply, some of the very best suspense novels written over the past century. *Killshot* 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, *Killshot* and Leonard are as good as it gets—further proof why “the King Daddy of crime writers” (*Seattle Times*) deserves his current place among John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and the other legendary greats of the noir fiction genre.words : 104212
