    About this audiobook

    Ironworker Wayne Colson and his spirited wife Carmen are witnesses to a shakedown scam—witnesses who must be eliminated. Enter Armand Degas (aka Blackbird), the brains of the operation, and his partner Richie Nix, an ex-con whose highest goal is to rob a bank in every state. After the Colsons enter the Federal Witness Security Program, a lively chase ensues—with two bumbling but determined killers on Wayne and Carmen's trail.

    With its dead-on dialogue, memorable characters, and absolute authenticity, Killshot is one of Elmore Leonard's all-time great novels.

Many of his books have been made into movies, including Get Shorty and Out of Sight. The short story "Fire in the Hole," and three books, including Raylan, were the basis for the FX hit show Justified. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN USA and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. He died in 2013.

      Sep 11, 2019

      It’s one of the hallmarks of a certain kind of fantasy that it appears to take place in an unchanging world of foundling princes, wizards and dark lords. Joe Abercrombie, for one, isn’t too keen on this idea. “I was always a bit frustrated by the san

      Wow. Just wow. Great book. Through and through. I’ll never let anyone call Elmore Leonard a bad writer. And I have to mention the guy who did the audio. Best audio performance I’ve ever heard. The writing and the reading both masterpieces
    • 5/5
      Ron McLarty did a great job as the narrator, I didn’t like him much reading Salems Lot, but this was right up his alley. A fine place to start with Elmore Leonard. Recommended.
