THE INSPIRATION FOR JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVALÂ ON FX
âAs gritty and hard-driving a thriller as youâll find....The action never stops, the language sings and stings.â âWashington Post
The City Primeval in Elmore Leonardâs relentlessly gripping classic noir is Detroit, the authorâs much-maligned hometown and the setting for many of the Grand Masterâs acclaimed crime novels. The âAlexander the Great of crime fictionâ (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) shines in these urban mean streets, setting up a downtown showdown between the psychopathic, thrill-killing âOklahoma Wildmanâ and the dedicated city copy whoâs determined to take him down. The creator of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of TVâs Justified fame, Elmore Leonard is the equal of any writer who has ever captivated readers with dark tales of heists, hijacks, double-crosses, and murderâJohn D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker includedâand nobody then or now is better.
