Overview
Before Get Shorty and Maximum Bob. Elmore Leonard was known for his raw, hard-bitten tales of the American West. Even Hollywood took notice, developing his powerful and then controversial Hombre into a 1967 film starring Paul Newman.Often out of print and hard to find, Leonard's Western novels are now being re-released. We're pleased to present the first three on audio. Each is lightly dramatized with multiple readers, crackling with Leonard's trademark dialogue and humming with taut plot twists. These exceptional tales will attract two large audiences of loyal fans: those who love Westerns (including the works of Louis L'Amour), and those who love Elmore Leonard.A hellhole like Yuma Prison does all sorts of things to a man. Mostly it makes him want to escape. For two men facing life sentences -- Harold Jackson, the only black man behind the walls, and Raymond San Carlos, an Apache halfbreed -- a breakout seems impossible. Then the law gives them two choices: rot in a cell, or track down and bring back the five most ruthless men in Arizona. Forty Lashes Less One was originally published in 1972; it's reported that Miramax has secured the movie rights and Quentin Tarantino is writing the screenplay.
