Fire in the Hole by Elmore Leonard

4.0

When I noticed at the end of the TV show Justified, that it was based on the Elmore Leonard book "Fire in the Hole", I figured I'd pick it up and give it a read. I expected a novel but instead got a series of short stories, all well written with interesting characters spanning American history from the last 1800's to the present. Mr. Leonard has a way with Southern and Mid-Western dialects from Arkansas to Florida (with Kentucky between). I enjoyed this book.
