"The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!"
—New York Times Book Review

When the all-time greats of mystery/noir/crime fiction are mentioned (John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert Parker, etc.), Elmore Leonard's name invariably tops the list. A true Leonard classic, The Big Bounce showcases all of the Grand Master's acclaimed skills—twisty plotting, unforgettable characters, dialogue so razor sharp it could draw blood—as he chronicles the misadventures of a larcenous young man in a Michigan resort town who's irresistibly drawn to a dangerous femme fatale, a rich man's plaything, and the nasty little caper they plan to pull off together—if they can somehow manage to survive each other. The acclaimed creator of Raylan (aka U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, lately of TV's smash hit Justified), Leonard has never lost the mojo that makes him "the King Daddy of crime writers" (Seattle Times).

      For Elmore Leonard fans, THE BIG BOUNCE is a watershed work--it's the book that bridges the gap between Leonard's Westerns and his modern crime stories. In this novel, a petty thief is lured into big trouble by the mistress of a pickle company magnate. Though the story lacks elements popularized in his later works--most notably, his characters don't say "the unprintable" stuff--it is well populated with indelible Elmore Leonard characters and with moral themes that reappear in later works. Narrator Mark Hammer is no stranger to Leonard, and his gravelly tone and deliberate reading suit the material. Perhaps more than any other narrator of Leonard's works, he generates the feeling that this is the way the author himself might deliver the book. R.W.S. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
