On August 20th, 2013 we lost one of the masters of the modern crime novel,
Elmore Leonard. The voice behind classics like "Rum Punch," (which was turned into the Tarantino classic "Jackie Brown) "Get Shorty," "Out of Sight" and the short story, "Fire in the Hole" (which was turned into the FX TV series "Justified") passed away today at the age of 87. For future reading, here are our reviews on "
Justified" and "
Jackie Brown."
He will be missed......
