This is the story of Harry, the ex-mobster who first appeared in «Pronto», who has been kidnapped by a raggle-taggle band of extortionists and ex-cons under the impression that he’s richer than he really is.In this sequel to Pronto, Harry Arno has retired from bookmaking but is still closing out some of his outstanding debts. But then his collection agent, an ex-con by the name of Bobby Deo, goes to pick up $1,800 from Chip Ganz and ends up getting hired for a hostage-taking operation (like kidnapping «in a way,» Chip tells him, «only different. A lot different.») When Harry’s taken by his own man, it’s up to United States Marshal Raylan Givens to track him down, in the same methodically relentless fashion he tracked Harry that time he ran off to Italy. Throw in a henchman named Louis Lewis with plans of his own and an attractive young psychic named Reverend Dawn, and you’ve got yet another crime story that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat—occasionally chuckling to yourself—straight through to the finish. (And bonus points to loyal Leonard fans who can spot the crossover elements from Rum Punch and Maximum Bob.) —Ron Hogan
