Moonshine War

<p>Leonard is tops in his field. <br />--<em>New Orleans Times-Picayune</em></p><p>The great Elmore Leonard America's pre-eminent crime fiction writer (<em>Chicago Tribune</em>) takes readers back to Prohibition days in the back hills of Kentucky in a rollicking story of guns greed and illegally brewed corn liquor. <em>The Moonshine War</em> is a tale of the chaos that ensues when a gang of city slickers sets out to steal thousands of dollars-worth of homemade whiskey from a hell-raising country boy--who is anything but the easy mark they were expecting. A rediscovered Elmore Leonard classic <em>The Moonshine War</em> is a wild ride bursting with the author's hallmark delights: the twisty plot the gripping suspense the wit and of course the razor-sharp dialogue. It's no wonder that the creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens--lately the star of the hit TV series <em>Justified</em>--is always listed among the mystery and crime fiction elite including John D. MacDonald Dashiell Hammett James M. Cain and Robert Parker and often at the very top of the list.<br /></p>
