Elmore Leonard, best-selling author of 37 novels including Get Shorty and the recent Pagan Babies, now brings his unmistakable style to electronic-publishing.

Elmore Leonard, best-selling author of 37 novels including Get Shorty and the recent Pagan Babies, now brings his unmistakable style to electronic-publishing. In Leonard's first original e-book, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (featured in Pronto and Riding the Rap) returns to the Eastern Kentucky coal-mining country of his youth. When Boyd Crowder, a mail-order-ordained minister who doesn't believe in paying his income taxes, decides to blow up the IRS building in Cincinnati, Givens is asked by the local marshal to intervene. This sets up an inevitable confrontation between two men on opposite sides of the law who still have a lingering respect for each other. Throw into the mix Boyd's sister-in-law, Ava, who carries a torch for Raylan along with a deer rifle, and you've got a funny, adrenaline-charged novella only Leonard could have written.

This collection of Elmore Leonard's short fiction was originally entitled When the Women Come Out to Dance , but the title was changed to capitalize on its connection to FX's Justified . “Fire in the Hole” is the novella which inspired the series, and was used as the basis for the plot of its first episode. (The series did it justice, but the novella is better.) At least half the book is taken up with two novellas, the aforementioned “Fire in the Hole” and “Ten Killer”, the tale of a confrontation between stuntman and former rodeo star Ben Webster and the criminal family who has taken over his deceased father's farm. The rest of the book consists of seven stories: “Karen Makes Out” and “Chickasaw Charlie Hoke (treats for fans of Out of Sight and Tishimingo Blues , featuring the familiar characters Federal Marshal Karen Cisco and former baseball player and raconteur Charlie Hoke respectively), “Sparks” (a mellow version of Double Indemnity with a nod toward The Last Seduction ), the two western stories “Hurrah for Captain Early” (a negro veteran of the Spanish American war confronts racism in a small town) and “The Tonto Woman” (the relationship between a Mexican rustler and a white woman once captured by Apaches), plus two other stories I would like to single out for special mention. “Hanging Out at the Buena Vista” is slight, little more than a sketch really, but its portrait of a man and woman in their eighties who meet at a retirement village is—like most of Leonard's dialogue--a model for spare, laconic speech, matter-of-fact and unsentimental. Yet—quite a surprise for Leonard—it is very sweet and very moving too. On the other hand, we have the original title story, “When the Women Come Out to Dance,” a deceptively casual tale of the growing relationship between discontented wife Mrs. Mahmood and her new domestic employee, the Latina Lourdes. Not to spoil your pleasure, I'll just say that this story not only contains a crime but has an ending that suggests—in the most subtle, offhand way imaginable—how fitting and how ghastly its unconventional punishment may be. This is a marvelous story that should be read by everyone who admires short fiction. I wasn't sure if I'd like Leonard's short fiction as much as his novels, but I think perhaps I like them even more. The short form showcases his fine dialogue, and encourages his subtlety and efficiency--qualities Elmore Leonard has always possessed in abundance.

Reading this collection of Elmore Leonard short stories was kind of like going to a family reunion and having your mother give you running commentary on all the people you haven‘t seen a while. "Remember Carl Webster from The Hot Kid ? That’s his grandson Ben. He’s trying to run some redneck squatters off the family farm. And there’s Karen Sisco!

Reading this collection of Elmore Leonard short stories was kind of like going to a family reunion and having your mother give you running commentary on all the people you haven‘t seen a while. "Remember Carl Webster from The Hot Kid ? That’s his grandson Ben. He’s trying to run some redneck squatters off the family farm. And there’s Karen Sisco! Why, I haven’t seen her since she was chasing that bank robber in Out of Sight . Raylan Givens over there has his very own TV show now. We’re all so proud. Oh no! There’s one of those nasty Crowe boys." Etc. etc. The stories are kind of a greatest hits medley of some of Leonard’s work. The familiar faces appear in short sequels or prequels to some of his novels. Most notable is Fire in the Hole which was used as the inspiration and pilot episode for the TV show Justified on FX. There’s also a couple of westerns in a nod to Leonard’s roots. But my favorite is a very short and funny one called Hanging Out at the Buena Vista . It’s only about 4 pages long and is just a conversation between two seniors at a retirement home. It’s a great snapshot of Leonard dialogue and style that is mainly an extended joke complete with punch line.

Well, I think it's a law or something that you have to like Elmore Leonard. I purchased this one for the one story "Fire in the Hole" A Raylan Givens story. That one was the best story in the book for me, but, there were some other gems in here as well. But, there was one or two that were only a few pages long and kind of left me scratching my head. But, over all if you like Elmore you'll want to add this one to your collection.

"We dug coal together." You know, it's funny how that old saying never quite fits until you read a story that gives you the purest form of perspective. The camaraderie in the statement is akin to big city beat cops. When a partner's on the take, but the other isn't quite down with the bribes, how can he be trusted? Eventually, the decent cop is gonna take the bribe, just to put his partner at ease, so they can do their jobs and trust each other. It's necessary to trust your partner when extreme da
"We dug coal together." You know, it's funny how that old saying never quite fits until you read a story that gives you the purest form of perspective. The camaraderie in the statement is akin to big city beat cops. When a partner's on the take, but the other isn't quite down with the bribes, how can he be trusted? Eventually, the decent cop is gonna take the bribe, just to put his partner at ease, so they can do their jobs and trust each other. It's necessary to trust your partner when extreme danger comes knocking, nearly a dozen times per tour. The same goes for coal miners. Cave-ins, explosions, unconsciousness... you name it. Whichever factor you choose, working in a coal mine with another man is putting that man's life in your hands, and vice-versa. So when Elmore Leonard's "Fire in the Hole" opened with the now infamous line, I found myself in a remarkable position to understand what he was saying, after long conversations I'd had with my father in the past as an underground miner in South-Central Illinois. It’s not about the work, it’s about the people. When you’re in a coal mine, you can’t protect yourself when you’re brain’s been powered down. It's the people, the union, that bring you out safely. That’s what drives the core of this story. Once you dig coal with a man, you feel obligated to protect each other for life. So here we are, a lawman and a Nazi criminal narcissist who’ve found themselves on different sides of an explosive fence. The struggle is real. Could your put a hole in your brother in the name of the law? Or could you put a hole in your brother just to prove that you’re above the law? In the end, the story grinds to a halt and it leaves us where it found us: “We dug coal together.”

4 Stars, best of the Raylan so far As usual with my reviews, please first read the publisher’s blurb/summary of the book. Thank you. Home town Harlan Kentucky, Raylan hears old coal-digging buddy Boyd has been bad, and shot up a church and some other terrorist acts. They decide to pull Boyd in, but the lovely Ava confuses things a bit. Nice pacing, good dialogue, down home feel, good tension, too. Nice climax for a novella. Well-worth reading.

A fantastic collection of short stories, it starts out with a couple of short sketches that are more interesting than they should be for what they are. Leonard's writing really shines as he manages to use a short scene to paint entire people & years of history. Other stories include the one on which the TV series Justified is based & one with Karen Sisco, another interesting marshal. Plus plenty more, including 2 that I had previously read in his western stories. They were just as good the secon

3½ out of 5 stars After finishing this short story collection, I now understand why Elmore Leonard is considered a classic in contemporary Western. He's a skilled writer of viable dialogues that keep his stories moving forward even when there isn't much happening. Leonard's style can be described simply as punchy because it can pack a punch and punctuate a seemingly simple story with lots of undertones. His writing might look like straight-forward pulp fiction, but there's a sense of "literary lit
3½ out of 5 stars After finishing this short story collection, I now understand why Elmore Leonard is considered a classic in contemporary Western. He's a skilled writer of viable dialogues that keep his stories moving forward even when there isn't much happening. Leonard's style can be described simply as punchy because it can pack a punch and punctuate a seemingly simple story with lots of undertones. His writing might look like straight-forward pulp fiction, but there's a sense of "literary literature" in his prose. He definitely knew how to turn a phrase half-way through a sentence to change the whole atmosphere of a story. Western is not my preferred genre, and I don't often read crime fiction unless it's interjected into sci-fi/fantasy. With that said, I must say this collection of Leonard's stories is a satisfying read. Review moved to http://covers2covers.wordpress.com/20... http://1stavenue.booklikes.com/post/7...

This review is solely on 'Fire in the Hole', the only story I've read in the collection so far. I've wanted to read 'Fire in the Hole' since I started watching Justified, which is one of my favorite shows on television now. So when I saw the short story collection it was in at a book sale for a dollar, it was an easy decision to make (despite my repeatedly telling myself not to buy more books while I have so many sitting at home unread).

I loved the hell out of this story, even after knowing the basic plot from the show. Getting to see Raylan, Art, Boyd, Ava and the other Harlan County characters in the medium they were created for was a real treat. I only wish there were entire novels about Raylan's rogue lawman, and not just this 50-page short story.
