fullDescription

"Speedy, exhilarating, and smooth. Nobody does it better."
—Washington Post

"The man knows how to grab you—and Pronto is one of the best grabbers in years."
—Entertainment Weekly

Fans of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified are in for a major treat. The unstoppable manhunter with the very itchy trigger finger stars in Pronto, a crime fiction gem from the one and only Elmore Leonard, "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" (New York Times Book Review). The Grand Master justifies the overwhelming acclaim he has received over the course of his remarkable career with an electrifying thriller that sends the indomitable Raylan racing to Italy on the trail of a fugitive bookie who's hiding from the vengeful Miami mob. The legendary Leonard, whom the Seattle Times lauds as the "King Daddy of crime writers," proves that all comparisons to American noir icons John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain are well deserved with this tale of very dirty doings and extremely dangerous men coming together in the birthplace of Puccini, Garibaldi, and La Cosa Nostra.

     August 30, 1993
     From sly title through breath-stopping climax to funny wrap-up, readers will relish Leonard's ( Maximum Bob ) latest roller coaster ride. South Miami Beach bookie Harry Arno has been skimming from his mafia bosses for years. After a ruthless FBI man spreads a rumor to that effect, in an attempt to get Harry to testify against his boss, ``Jimmy Cap,'' the 66-year-old bookie splits early on his long-planned retirement in Rapallo, Italy. Rapallo is soon mobbed, so to speak, as Harry is joined by his girlfriend, his new bodyguard, Jimmy Cap's Italian-born enforcer ``the Zip,'' a handful of Italian thugs and a deputy U.S. Marshal, Raylan Givens. All engage in a deadly dance before Raylan manages to get most of the good guys back to Miami, where the dance begins again. Leonard's spare language and propulsive plotting still leave room for expositions of Sicilian slang, gamblers' lingo and Ezra Pound's private life. His colorful characters work together splendidly, especially the top trio: Harry, whose drinking, posturing and willfulness endanger everybody; the lethal Zip, who models himself, literally, on Frank Costello; and Raylan, whose Stetson and apparent goofiness mask a hard past in bloody Harlan County, Ky. The only problem with the book is that it ends. BOMC and QPB selection; major ad/promo; author tour.

   • content: In an underworld setting of everyday crime and casual killing, Elmore Leonard presents his cast of offbeat characters. As usual, listeners have a hard time deciding who, if anybody, to like. Reader Alexander Adams is well-suited to this material; he brings this varied cast of scalawags to life with the skill of a good storyteller. Adams handles dialects well and provides a real plus by not overplaying female voices, presenting them only with lighter inflection and pace. Perhaps his strongest contribution is his ability to express feelings through slight shifts in tone and style. An excellent effort. T.J.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
3. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Joe Mantegna narrates this fast-paced tale in a laid-back, conversational tone. The characters fail to come alive and the music overshadows passages of dialogue. Even Mantegna can't save this one. A.L.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
