<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>For three years Al Rosen has lived in Israel, hiding from the mobsters he testified against. But when a lone gunman in a sleek BMW opens fire on Al in a corner cafe, he knows the boys are back in town. Suddenly Al becomes the hunted as the assassins chase him from one end of Israel to the other.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"Wonderful...razor-sharp." <br />--<em>Los Angeles Times Book Review</em></p><p>"Excellent....A plot and a chase as good as anything he has ever written."<br />--<em>Bergan Record</em></p><p>In Elmore Leonard's <em>The Hunted</em>, "crime fiction's greatest living practitioner" (<em>Washington Post</em>) carries the action far from his usual Detroit, Miami, and Los Angeles milieus, all the way to the Middle East. There no lack of excitement and suspense--and the trademark Leonard dialogue--in this superior tale of a fugitive hiding under the radar in Israel, until a well-publicized Good Samaritan act attracts the unwanted attention of well-armed Motown mobsters who are now coming to get him. The author who introduced the world to U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (in his novels <em>Pronto</em> and <em>Riding the Rap</em>, before the lawman became the star of the hit TV drama <em>Justified</em>), the Grand Master shows why the <em>Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel </em>calls him "the all-time king of the whack job crime novelists," and goes on to say that "Elmore Leonard tops them all"...including John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Robert B. Parker, and quite possibly every major mystery writer the U.S. has ever produced.<br /></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Al Rosen was doing just fine, hiding out in Israel--until he decided to play Good Samaritan and rescue some elderly tourists from a hotel fire. Now his picture's been carried in the stateside press, and the guys he's been hiding <em>from</em> know exactly where he is. And they're coming to get him--crooked lawyers, men with guns and money, and assorted members of the Detroit mob who are harboring a serious grudge. Playtime is officially over. Rosen's a million miles from home with a bull's-eye on his back, and his only ally is a U.S. embassy marine who's been looking for a war . . . and who's damn well found one.</p>
