Robbie Daniels, Palm Beach playboy, loves living the good life on his inherited millions. He likes women. He likes golf. He likes guns. When he shoots and kills a Haitian refugee who has broken into his home, he calls it ''practice'' - for the life he longs to live, blasting bad guys. But homicide detective Bryan Hurd has other ideas about justifying murder, even if he has to interrupt his holiday to put them into practice. An elctrifying noir from the legendary crime writer, Split Images is ''top-notch'' ( New York Times ).>

Elmore Leonard (1925-2013) began his long and extraordinary career as a writer of Westerns, most famously a story which was made into the film 3:10 To Yuma. He then became known for his remarkable sequence of crime novels, generally set in Michigan or Florida. A master of funny and threatening dialogue, his influence has been incalculable. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN US and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
