Publisher Description
Touching on the themes of the popular FX series Justified featuring U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens, Valdez Is Coming is New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard's classic western tale of corruption, justice, and vengeance.
Forced to gun down an innocent man, part-time sheriff Roberto Valdez is nearly killed and run out of town when he seeks justice for the dead man’s family. But the same townsfolk who laughed at Valdez’s dark skin, mocked his decency, and tied him to a cross will find themselves on the wrong side of a gun when the lawman comes back to deliver his own brand of justice.
Customer Reviews
Quick, well written western read
Good example of the early work of Elmer Leonard. Quiet, tough loner with a past finds himself in a bad situation with the odds against him. Enjoyable as a simple western or as an example of crisp, clean American writing in the Hemingway tradition.
That Good
As good as a Western, the quick read and suspenseful and informative kind, can be or get. Elmore doesn’t waste your time and gives you more than you paid back in entertainment.
Awesome
