Product Description

From the Publisher

"The finest thriller writer alive." --The Village Voice.

"Mr. Leonard dazzles as he sprinkles his work continually with unexpected convolutions. . . his people are real, with nary a stereotype in the pack." --The New York Times Book Review.

It was Prohibition, and a big, hell-raising Son Martin had himself something special: $125,000 worth of Kentucky's finest home-made whiskey, no one was going to steal it. Because when it came to shooting, fighting, and outsmarting the Big Boys, Son Martin wasn't just good. He was bad . . .dangerous. . . and deadly.

"An absolute master." --The Detroit News.

"Elmore Leonard is the real thing. . . .he raise the hard-boiled suspense novel beyond the limits of the genre. . .he paints an acute picture of the world that is all too real and recognizable" --The Washington Post. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of my all-time favorites, Avril 10 2004

This review is from: The Moonshine War (Paperback)
Maybe I'm biased because I'm from Kentucky and my mother's side of the family ran a still during prohibition. Nonetheless, this book dazzled me. The story and characters are of course fantastic, even gauged against Leonard's many other fine novels. But, the language and dialogue make Moonshine War a really phenomenal experience. As you read it, you can feel Kentucky staring back at you from the pages.

If you've paged down this far, then you've already heard about the unique ending. Albeit abrupt, the ending still justifies the rest of the story. Pick up this hot little story in paperback and enjoy.

This review is from: The Moonshine War (Paperback)
I picked up this older Elmore Leonard at a used book sale -- very glad I did. It is one of the best Leonard books I've read. The main (male) character is a strong, silent type -- even more inscrutable than many of Leonard's other leading men. And there's a nice mixed bag of bad guys. The plot has very good momentum, and though it may seem to end somewhat "abruptly" I liked the ending because it wasn't pat.

This is my first Leonard book and I have to say I was astounded. I have read a lot in the past and never before had I unwittingly invested so much emotion into a piece of art. Read more

4.0étoiles sur 5 So yeah. Prohibition.
Great villains, good characters. Highly entertaining, and then it ends extremely abruptly. Not that that's bad. Just be warned. Now go read it.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Mr. Leonard has done it again!
Loved the dialogue, loved the characters, loved the plot. I could taste the sour mash that oozed from the stills in this unabashingly witty novel. Read more
