Publisher Description

“Constant action and top-notch writing.” —New York Times

A Palm Beach playboy who amuses himself with murder finds himself on a collision course with a vacationing Motown cop in Elmore Leonard’s Split Images—a gripping and electrifying example of noir gold from “the coolest, hottest writer in America” (Chicago Tribune).  Split Images is Grand Master Leonard at the top of his game, a bravura example of how exemplary crime fiction is done by a writer who stands tall among the all-time mystery greats: John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, et al. The brilliant creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (of TV’s Justified) now brings us a cast of vivid and unforgettable characters on both sides of the law, in a twisting masterwork of unrelenting suspense that the Washington Post calls, “Brilliant...impressive...superb.”

“Since 1974, Elmore Leonard has been writing unusually well-crafted books…Split Images is as good as its predecessors…What sets Mr. Leonard’s books apart is his refusal to take the easy way out. His plotting is careful, he almost always avoids the clichés of the genre and he can write believable dialogue.” 

— New York Times Book Review 

Quotes
