SynopsisThe definitive edition of America's modern master of crime fiction continues with four classic novels widely considered his best, presented in one volume for the first time with behind-the-scenes accounts of their genesis by editor Gregg Sutter, Leonard's longtime researcher, and rare archival material: a must for any fan. It was during the 1980s that Elmore Leonard came into his own as the most popular and critically acclaimed crime writer in America. The four novels collected here show him at the top of his form, each in its own distinct way: City Primeval is a modern-day Western pitched on the border between law and lawlessness, with Detroit as the frontier; LaBrava , set in Miami, orchestrates a complex scheme involving a long-forgotten film noir actress and an ex-Secret Service man turned photographer; Glitz plunges into the seedy world of Atlantic City casinos and into the twisted mind of the unforgettable Teddy Magyk, one of Leonard's most indelible bad guys; and Freaky Deaky sets in motion a tumultuous '60s flashback, laced with harsh and outlandish comic touches, as a pair of morally dubious veterans of Ann Arbor revolutionary politics try out some new scams. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries., It was during the 1980s that Elmore Leonard came into his own as the most popular and critically acclaimed crime writer in America. Here he is at the top of his game, with four bestselling works collected into one volume: City Primeval, LaBrava, Glitz and Freaky Deaky. Includes a rare early draft of the first chapter of LaBrava, as well as behind-the scenes accounts of the master at work by Leonard's editor and long-time researcher Gregg Sutter.

4 crime classics in one.
Leonard is a crime writer in the same class as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and Ross MacDonald. All of these authors are available from the Library of America. LOA produces extremely well made books packing a lot of content into modest sized volumes. This volume has squeezed over 1000 pages into a binding an inch and a quarter thick. The pages are like India paper. They're nice, smooth and a creamy color. The font is comfortable to read. Most people buying this will already be familiar with Elmore Leonard and are looking for a deluxe and lasting format. I really like the compactness: they're smaller than the typical hardcover book. I take these on vacations and plane trips This book is going to Canada with me this week.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
