Synopsis "Raylan (in Spanish)"

El agente judicial Raylan Givens es un hombre de pocas palabras, conocido por su sombrero vaquero y su facilidad para desenfundar. Su debilidad son las mujeres, pero en los ambientes en los que se mueve no se encuentra precisamente a lo mejor del género femenino. Plantaciones de marihuana, traficantes de órganos, mineros afectados por la contaminación, timbas ilegales, corredores de apuestas, criadores de caballos, delincuentes sin el menor rasgo de humanidad y mujeres fatales se entrecruzan en esta nueva obra de Elmore Leonard, el gran maestro de la novela negra norteamericana.
