Summary:"Road Dogs is terrific, and Elmore Leonard is in a class of one." -- Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island and Mystic River "You know from the first sentence that you're in the hands of the original Daddy Cool.... This one'll kill you." -- Stephen King Elmore Leonard is eternal. In Road Dogs, the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award winner and "America's greatest crime master" (Newsweek) brings back three of his favorite characters -- Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from La Brava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap -- for a twisting, explosive, always surprising masterwork of crime fiction the San Francisco Chronicle calls, "a sly, violent, funny and superbly written story of friendship, greed, and betrayal."
