“Elmore Leonard is in a class of one….The greatest crime writer who ever lived.”
—Dennis Lehane
“Elmore Leonard is our greatest crime novelist…the best in the business.”
—Washington Post
44 novels and still going strong! The incomparable Elmore Leonard—“The reigning King Daddy of crime writers” (Seattle Times)—is back with Djibouti, a gripping, twisting, playful,
and always surprising tale of modern-day piracy. Djibouti sparkles with the trademark Leonard style, wit, and crackling dialogue that have made novels like Get Shorty, Out of
Sight, and The Hot Kid crime fiction classics. This time Elmore’s taking us to the Horn of Africa for an unforgettable confrontation with con men, crooked diplomats, documentary
filmmakers, and pirates…and it’s going to be a wild ride!
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Tremendous fun for those who can’t get enough of the author’s snappy patter. For Tim Cain, it’s a chance to demonstrate his ability to deal with pages of witty dialogue, and he shines, demonstrating quick vocal shifts, wide-ranging accents, and well-thought-out pacing. The result is a smoothly efficient, entertaining drawing room comedy in which not even terrorism is taken too seriously.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Although the story line is fast paced and twisting, [Tim Cain] manages to keep up a steady tempo, allowing listeners to stay on track and fully enjoy Leonard’s latest adventure.”
—Booklist
