Publisher's Note
An electrifying "New York Times" bestseller, "Pronto" is a continent-crossing, wisecracking gem of a novel about a fall guy for the Miami mob.

Harry Arno was grossing six to seven thousand dollars a week running a South Miami Beach gambling operation. To protect his position, he was forced to cut a deal with the local muscle, Jimmy Capotorto (Jimmy Cap to the likes of Harry), an even fifty-fifty split. For years Harry had been padding his own stake by skimming a grand a week off the top. A couple of local detectives wise to sticky fingers try to bag Jimmy the Cap by putting the squeeze on Harry. Now, the dicks suggest, would be a good time for Harry to rat the mobster out. U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens has his own agenda. He has to deliver Harry to a Federal grand jury to testify at Jimmys drug-running trial. Even though hes a step slower that he used to be, Harrys no fool. When Jimmy Caps men are a hair too slow gunning him down and Raylans surveillance slips, Harrys already two steps ahead of them. Years of preparation pay off and Harry slips out of the country pronto. Being on the lam is no time to get soft, but Harry didnt plan on missing his companion Joyce so much. Sneaking her to his hideout could save him from loneliness but Joyces quick departure tips off his trackers. Jimmy Caps men follow Joyce while Raylan stays close behind. The three sides end up in Rapallo, Italy, watching their own backs while keeping abreast of Harrys. But it's not until the chase leads back to Miami that the real winners and losers are revealed. Pronto is classic Elmore Leonard.

Industry Reviews
"'Pronto' is state-of-the-art Leonard, written with a cool, bemused, knowing tone and a considerable appreciation for the absurd...guaranteed amusement."
Miami Herald

"Fascinating...you'll be engrossed....No one writes better dialog. No one conveys society's seedier or marginal characters more convincingly. Once again, Leonard's sardonic view of the world proves immensely entertaining, and not a little thought-provoking."
Detroit Free Press

"Leonard's descriptive writing is evocative and unobtrusive; he makes physical place visible in the reader's imagination, which is harder than most readers realize. He is exceptionally good at what he does, and what he does is well worth doing. Nobody does it better."
Washington Post Book World
