Still on an Elmore Leonard roll, preparing for his new novel, Road Dogs. After finishing Riding the Rap, it was on to LaBrava and Cat Chaser. (Road Dogs puts a character from LaBrava in the center of the Road Dogs story.) I didn't remember how LaBrava ended from reading it three years ago, so I got myself another copy cheaply through paperbackswap.com for a re-read. And Cat Chaser just because it was also available, and I really liked the audiobook when I listened to that a couple of years ago.
So I read LaBrava, paying special attention to Cundo Rey, because he's the guy who will reappear in Road Dogs - only he ends up dead at the end of LaBrava. Ooooooh. Kaaaaaay. Let's see how Leonard will resolve that in the subsequent story. He's a smart writer; I'm sure he'll make it worth my while.
Anyway, I had a good time with both of these, and feel well prepared for the Road Dogs now. Take me there!
