Maximum Bob
About this ebook
Â
A character so outrageous he could only have come from the ingenious imagination of Elmore Leonard, lewd, lecherous, law-bending Florida jurist Judge Robert âMaximum Bobâ Gibbs has been judged guilty by a grudge-bearing malefactor and sentenced to deathâby alligator, if necessary. Maximum Bob is a delightfully dark classic thriller from âthe greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps everâ (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 Leonardâs numerous crime fiction masterworks will get maximum enjoyment out of this one.
