Elmore Leonard was one of the giants of crime fiction. After starting out with Westerns, he made a name for himself writing about lowlifes and gunrunners, criminals who spoke in hilarious, hard-hitting banter. His style was famously lean. Leonard stripped out the fat, let the dialogue drive everything, and made crime feel cool without ever losing touch with how weird, dumb, or desperate people can be.
