«Un tipo implacable» is the crime novel by Elmore Leonard, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
In the 1930s, between the Great Depression and Prohibition, criminal Jack Belmont aspires to be public enemy number one, and young policeman Carl Webster, famous for his cool head, tries to stop him. Oil, femme fatales, submachine guns and the jazz of Louis Armstrong frame a chase of sharp, ironic dialogue.
First instalment of the Carl Webster series, originally published as «The Hot Kid» (2005), translated by Catalina Martínez Muñoz; part of Alianza's 13/20 Collection.
For readers of crime fiction and historical fiction set in the 1930s, as well as fans of Elmore Leonard.
Elmore John Leonard Jr. was an American novelist, short story author and screenwriter. He was, according to British journalist Anthony Lane, "hailed as one of the best crime writers in the land". His earliest novels, published in the 1950s, were Westerns, but he went on to specialize in crime fiction and suspense thrillers, many of which have been adapted into motion pictures. Among his best-known works are Hombre, Swag, City Primeval, LaBrava, Glitz, Freaky Deaky, Get Shorty, Rum Punch, Out of Sight and Tishomingo Blues.
