Description
Touching on the themes of the popular FX series Justified featuring U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens, Valdez Is Coming is New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard's classic western tale of corruption, justice, and vengeance.
Forced to gun down an innocent man, part-time sheriff Roberto Valdez is nearly killed and run out of town when he seeks justice for the dead man’s family. But the same townsfolk who laughed at Valdez’s dark skin, mocked his decency, and tied him to a cross will find themselves on the wrong side of a gun when the lawman comes back to deliver his own brand of justice.

Awesome
5By 3MbysdadFlat out great. Highly recommend jt. A fun and compelling read.Quick, well written western read
4By Seeker75Good example of the early work of Elmer Leonard. Quiet, tough loner with a past finds himself in a bad situation with the odds against him. Enjoyable as a simple western or as an example of crisp, clean American writing in the Hemingway tradition.Valdez is coming
