From a forbidden glance on a Miami night to a killer's slow burn on a Detroit street, no one mixes passion, scheming and violence better than Elmore Leonard. But before he did it in Miami Beach or Motor City, Elmore Leonard did it on the American frontier. The Tonto Woman and Other Western Stories is a raw, hard-bitten collection that gathers together the best of Leonard's Western fiction. In stories that burn with passion, treachery and heroism, the untamed West comes vividly, magnificently to life. In 'The Tonto Woman' a young wife, her face tattooed by Indian kidnappers, becomes society's outcast - until an outlaw vows to set her free. In 'Only Good Ones', we meet a fine man turned killer in one impossible moment. The wild and glorious spirit of the West comes alive in the hands of America's greatest storyteller. Etching a harsh, haunting landscape with razor-sharp prose, Elmore Leonard shows in nineteen brilliant stories why he has become the American poet laureate of the desperate and the bold.
