As gritty and hard-driving a thriller as you ll find .The action never stops, the language sings and stings. Washington Post
The City Primeval in Elmore Leonard s relentlessly gripping classic noir is Detroit, the author s much-maligned hometown and the setting for many of the Grand Master s acclaimed crime novels. The Alexander the Great of crime fiction (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) shines in these urban mean streets, setting up a downtown showdown between the psychopathic, thrill-killing Oklahoma Wildman and the dedicated city copy who s determined to take him down. The creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TV s Justified fame, Elmore Leonard is the equal of any writer who has ever captivated readers with dark tales of heists, hijacks, double-crosses, and murder John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker included and nobody then or now is better."
