Summary

Summary

New York Times bestseller

Publishers Weekly bestseller

A character so outrageous he could only have come from the ingenious imagination of Elmore Leonard, lewd, lecherous, law-bending Florida jurist Judge Robert “Maximum Bob” Gibbs has been judged guilty by a grudge-bearing malefactor and sentenced to death—by alligator, if necessary. Maximum Bob is a delightfully dark classic thriller from “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (New York Times Book Review), and any reader who loved getting gleefully lost in criminal mayhem of Get Shorty, Rum Punch, Out of Sight, The Hot Kid, or any number of the inimitable Leonard’s numerous crime fiction masterworks will get maximum enjoyment out of this one.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“While [Maximum Bob] is darker than his usual fare…his pace, humor, and ear are as suspenseful, dry, and true as ever.” —Publishers Weekly
“Spunky Kathy Baker of the Florida Deptartment of Corrections blows a whiff of fresh air into the Leonard canon…[along with] nicely realized characters, the usual smart Leonard dialogue, a few moments of brisk high/low humor.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Leonard’s trademark toughness, grit, and sleaze are on every page, and the tale’s developments and ending are, as usual, sickeningly convincing.” —Booklist
“Having narrated four Elmore Leonard Westerns, Richard Poe demonstrates in this re-release that he’s also comfortable with Leonard’s crime novels…Poe delivers a respectable range of Southern accents, and, most importantly, he allows the humor come out naturally. This is an essential listen for Leonard’s fans because it provides the inspiration for many characters who appear in later books—including the dysfunctional Crowe family, whose members, like most of Leonard’s criminals, are dumber than they think.” —AudioFile
