"Speedy, exhilarating, and smooth. Nobody does it better."  
\--_Washington Post_

"The man knows how to grab you--and Pronto is one of the best grabbers in years."  
\--_Entertainment Weekly_

Fans of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series _Justified_ are in for a major treat. The unstoppable manhunter with the very itchy trigger finger stars in _Pronto_, a crime fiction gem from the one and only Elmore Leonard, "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" (_New York Times Book Review_). The Grand Master justifies the overwhelming acclaim he has received over the course of his remarkable career with an electrifying mob thriller that sends the indomitable Raylan on an international manhunt, racing to Italy on the trail of a fugitive bookie who's hiding from the vengeful Miami mob. The legendary Leonard, whom the _Seattle Times_ lauds as the "King Daddy of crime writers," proves that all comparisons to American noir icons John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain are well deserved with this tale of very dirty doings and extremely dangerous men coming together in the birthplace of Puccini, Garibaldi, and La Cosa Nostra.  

### Back Jacket

The feds want Miami bookmaker Harry Arno to squeal on his wiseguy boss. So they're putting word out on the street that Arno's skimming profits from "Jimmy Cap" Capotorto--which he is, but everybody does it. Harry was planning to retire to Italy someday anyway, so he figures now's a good time to get lost. U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens knows Harry's tricky--the bookie ditched him once in an airport while in the marshal's custody--but not careful. So Raylan's determined to find the fugitive's Italian hideaway before cold-blooded Sicilian "Zip" whacks Arno just for fun. It's a "pride thing" . . . and it might even put Raylan in good stead with Harry's sexy ex-stripper girlfriend Joyce.
