If you‘ve seen the show “Justified” on FX this book includes the novella “Fire in the Hole” which inspired the show. The book also include several other short stories and another Novella. Couldn‘t get in to many of the others. I liked “Fire in the Hole” and loved the show.

Blueberry I loved Justified!! 3y

Pretty good...my first Leonard. How does someone write almost no detail or description and yet the world is so vivid? (Dialogue. The answer is dialogue.)

“Justified” was my favorite television series of the past decade. The story it‘s based on, by the same name as this book, is amazing, though that isn‘t the only reason why I liked this collection. Leonard was a genius, and his short stories always demonstrate that.

Ericalambbrown Oooohhh! I haven‘t read this one. I absolutely loved Justified. I‘ll have to find this. 5y

Today was Elmore Leonard's birthday. He wrote the books that spawned the wonderful Justified series.

I always come home to the old holler of Harlan, Kentucky when I need a good, old-fashioned dose of a world where one thing is certain: justice will be delivered by a quick draw, and acknowledged with a toast of good bourbon or 'shine.

Raising a glass tonight to Elmore Leonard and his unparalleled mastery, just because I can.

Decided to start a re-watch of the final season of Justified, the excellent series based on Elmore Leonard's short story Fire In The Hole and featuring his character Raylan Givens from that story and three novels.

LeahBergen I love this series. I think I'm only on season 4? 7y
Anton @LeahBergen Season 4 is great! Season 5 wasn't as good, but season 6 ends the series on a high note. 7y
