When the Women Come out to Dance by Elmore Leonard

When the Women Come out to Dance by Elmore Leonard, 228 pages.
This excellent collection of stories really shows Leonard's range. It also features the story of Raylan Givens and his old friend Boyd Crowder. They used to dig coal together, but now Crowder is leading a skinhead group, Crowder's Commandos, and Givens is a United States Marshall. This story was the basis for the TV show Justified, and even though some changes were made for TV, the show and the story match up well together. The rest of the stories in this collection are very good also, particularly the title tale and one called "Tenkiller".
