Raw Land
by Luke ShortA hard-riding adventurer returns home to settle down--and stirs up a heap of trouble--in this action-packed western from a master of the genre. After ten years of hard fighting and harder living, Will Danning is coming home to Yellow Jacket. His arrival is anything but celebrated, however--the last time he cast a shadow here, he wasn't exactly walking the straight and narrow. Danning has returned to buy the Pitchfork Ranch, where he used to work cattle that weren't always legally his. For his neighbors, that's cause for concern; Angus Case still remembers when his herds were ravaged. What's more, Danning's friends can't understand why he'd want such a dried-up parcel of land. And Pres Milo, Case's chief ramrod and enforcer, wants the land for himself--and will do anything to get it. If Danning wants to keep what's his, he'll have to fight. And in a frontier town like Yellow Jacket, fighting often means dying . . . A legend of western fiction, Luke Short blazed the trail for writers such as Louis L'Amour and Elmore Leonard. Raw Land is one of his grittiest and most authentic tales of frontier adventure.

Raylan
by Elmore LeonardThe revered New York Times bestselling author, recognized as "America's greatest crime writer" (Newsweek), brings back U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, the mesmerizing hero of Pronto, Riding the Rap, and the hit FX series Justified. With the closing of the Harlan County, Kentucky, coal mines, marijuana has become the biggest cash crop in the state. A hundred pounds of it can gross $300,000, but that's chump change compared to the quarter million a human body can get you-especially when it's sold off piece by piece. So when Dickie and Coover Crowe, dope-dealing brothers known for sampling their own supply, decide to branch out into the body business, it's up to U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens to stop them. But Raylan isn't your average marshal; he's the laconic, Stetson-wearing, fast-drawing lawman who juggles dozens of cases at a time and always shoots to kill. But by the time Raylan finds out who's making the cuts, he's lying naked in a bathtub, with Layla, the cool transplant nurse, about to go for his kidneys. The bad guys are mostly gals this time around: Layla, the nurse who collects kidneys and sells them for ten grand a piece; Carol Conlan, a hard-charging coal-mine executive not above ordering a cohort to shoot point-blank a man who's standing in her way; and Jackie Nevada, a beautiful sometime college student who can outplay anyone at the poker table and who suddenly finds herself being tracked by a handsome U.S. marshal. Dark and droll, Raylan is pure Elmore Leonard-a page-turner filled with the sparkling dialogue and sly suspense that are the hallmarks of this modern master.
