"Road Dogs is terrific, and Elmore Leonard is in a class of one."
--Dennis Lehane, author of Shutter Island and Mystic River "You know from the first sentence that you're in the hands of the original Daddy Cool....This one'll kill you."
--Stephen King Elmore Leonard is eternal. In Road Dogs, the PEN USA Lifetime Achievement Award winner and "America's greatest crime master" (Newsweek) brings back three of his favorite characters--Jack Foley from Out of Sight, Cundo Rey from La Brava, and Dawn Navarro from Riding the Rap--for a twisting, explosive, always surprising masterwork of crime fiction the San Francisco Chronicle calls, "a sly, violent, funny and superbly written story of friendship, greed, and betrayal."

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
[Elmore Leonard] has created his own fictional world that we are privileged to visit now and then.... Leonard commands such a broad spectrum of fans that he might justifiably be called America's Author. However, titles matter little; what truly counts is his ability to deliver a capital story splendidly told. Readers, rejoice! The beat goes on." - San Diego Union-Tribune on ROAD DOGS
"There are hundreds of men and women who, in the twilight of their careers, should be regarded as national treasures... To that list let us add...Elmore Leonard, whose new book, Road Dogs, is yet another gem in a career that has endured for more than half a century...There is clearly more fun to be had here, and Leonard, the hippest, funniest national treasure in sight, is the man to prove it." - Washington Post
"Road Dogs is vintage Leonard--a sly, violent, funny and superbly written story of friendship, greed and betrayal. It's the writer's 43rd novel, Leonard still at the top of his game." - Bruce DeSilva, San Francisco Chronicle
"Leonard's works constitute a genre all by themselves. If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, the Michigan writer must be the most flattered author alive. Because he makes it look easy." - Detroit Free Press
"Road Dogs is terrific, and Elmore Leonard is in a class of one. Not only does he have no equal, he doesn't even have a legitimate contender. He makes it look so effortless that if he wasn't the greatest crime writer who ever lived I might have to hate him. But he is, so I just tip my hat." - Dennis Lehane
"Leonard writes with high style, great energy, unflappable cool and a jubilant love of the game. As ever, his scorn for fussy prose is best expressed through his own superbly lean locutions." - New York Times on ROAD DOGS
