“Wicked and irresistible….Elmore Leonard is a literary genius.”
—New York Times Book Review
Before U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens began electrifying TV viewers across America (in the hit series Justified), he “starred” in Elmore Leonard’s Riding the Rap—an explosive, twisty tale of a brazen Florida kidnap caper gone outrageously wrong. Chock full of wildly eccentric and deliciously criminal characters—including a psycho enforcer with a green thumb, a Bahamian bad man, and the beautiful, unabashedly greedy psychic Reverend Dawn—Riding the Rap dazzles with Leonard’s trademark ingenious plot turns and razor-keen dialogue. Gripping, surprising, and unforgettable, it is a crime fiction gem that any thriller writer—from past masters John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain to the bestselling mystery auteurs of today—would be thrilled to call his own.

Epub Riding the Rap
Riding The Rap is a direct sequel to the Leonard's novel Pronto. Pronto ended with Raylan exacting revenge on Tommy Bucks and hooking up with Harry's ex Joyce while ex-mafia bookie Harry Arno remained a lonely whining crybaby.
Riding The Rap picks up a year later. Raylan is still in a relationship with Joyce, although they are having problems due to Joyce continuing to enable and aid Harry, who has become a depressed alcoholic and is still talking of retiring and moving to Italy. Because of the celebrity and controversy that Raylan received after his shooting of Tommy Bucks the Marshals service has assigned him to work with Miami police in a special task force that tracks down fugitives. The novel opens with Raylan bringing a man back to Miami who was arrested for a DUI and then discovered to have a warrant out for his arrest. The journey ends in typical Raylan fashion, with him arresting 2 others and bringing them to justice as well.
Harry is still around. Like in Pronto, he is still talking about moving to Italy and retiring. With the mafia no longer after him, Harry continued to operate a book in Miami. But now that he again has decided to retire he has been collecting all the large debts owed to him, with Joyce's help as she is driving him around due to Harry losing his own license because of a DWI arrest. Harry manipulates Joyce into helping him and always feeling sorry for him. Harry hires Bobby Deo, aspiring gardener who works as a bounty hunter, to track down a man named Chip Ganz who owes Harry $16,500. But instead Chip talks Bobby into helping him and Chip's muscle, a Jamaican man named Louis Lewis, into working for them and its Harry who goes missing soon instead.
When Joyce finds out that Harry is missing again she begs Raylan to go looking for him again.
