Flaptekst van de westernroman van Elmore Leonard uit 1970
Valdez is Comingis a stunning tale of morality and justice in which a simple, honest man is transformed into a killer – and begins a long journey of revenge against those who scarred his soul for ever.
Elmore Leonard’s Western novels stand as some of the most vivid writing of his career. With all of his trademark sharp dialogue and set against a beautifully evoked landscape, this is a classic work that captures the wild and glorious spirit of the American West.
Elmore Leonard was born on 11 October 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. He began his long and extraordinary career as a writer of Westerns, most famously a story which was made into the film 3:10 To Yuma. He then became known for his remarkable sequence of crime novels, generally set in Michigan or Florida. A master of funny and threatening dialogue, his influence has been incalculable. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN US and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Leonard died on 20 August 2013 in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, aged 87.
