Pronto

Blurb

Pronto is a crime novel written by Elmore Leonard and published in 1993. Leonard introduces three main characters and gets them moving against each other. Harry is constantly reminiscing about World War II. Tommy carries a picture of the old crime boss Frank Costello in his wallet. Raylan is a U.S. Marshal who wears a cowboy hat. In addition, the inclusion of the Ezra Pound stories add more to the understanding of Harry and his reasons for retiring to Rapallo, Italy.
A 1997 made-for-TV version of Pronto starred Peter Falk, Glenne Headly and James LeGros. The character of Raylan Givens, played by LeGros, would later become the protagonist for the television series Justified.
