Before U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens began electrifying TV viewers across America (in the hit series Justified), he âstarredâ in Elmore Leonardâs Riding the Rapâan explosive, twisty tale of a brazen Florida kidnap caper gone outrageously wrong. Chock full of wildly eccentric and deliciously criminal charactersâincluding a psycho enforcer with a green thumb, a Bahamian bad man, and the beautiful, unabashedly greedy psychic Reverend DawnâRiding the Rap dazzles with Leonardâs trademark ingenious plot turns and razor-keen dialogue. Gripping, surprising, and unforgettable, it is a crime fiction gem that any thriller writerâfrom past masters John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain to the bestselling mystery auteurs of todayâwould be thrilled to call his own.

Elmore Leonard wrote more than forty books during his long career, including the bestsellers Raylan, Tishomingo Blues, Be Cool, Get Shorty, and Rum Punch, as well as the acclaimed collection When the Women Come Out to Dance, which was a New York Times Notable Book. Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty and Out of Sight. The short story âFire in the Hole,â and three books, including Raylan, were the basis for the FX hit show Justified. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He died in 2013.
