No current Talk conversations about this book. a billion times better than the big bounce. though it’s hard to go wrong with a book with a character named Dick Speed. ( ) Desperate airplane read found in the seat pocket. At least it doesnt have the gore, visciousness, crudity, and violence of Leonard's later stuff. But without that, it's nothing. I wonder if it took longer for me to read than it took him to punch it out. Bet it was close. I wanted to put a minus 1 rating but it would not let me no reviews | add a review

No one is Leonard's equal,-and anyone who might doubt it would only have to read Elmore Leonard's riveting noir classic, Unknown Man #89, to become a true believer. The twisty tale of a Detroit process server whose search for a missing stockholder leads him into more serious peril than he ever imagined possible, Unknown Man #89 is a gourmet stew of mystery, suspense, and double and triple cross, peppered with the razor sharp dialogue for which Grand Master Leonard is justifiably famous. Exhilarating old-school crime fiction that the late, great John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker would have been proud to call their own, Unknown Man #89 is a gem-nothing less than we'd expect from the man who created the incomparable U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified.
