Valdez Is Coming

De: Elmore Leonard

Narrado por: Keith Carradine

Touching on the themes of the popular FX series Justified featuring U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens, Valdez Is Coming is New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard's classic western tale of corruption, justice, and vengeance.

Forced to gun down an innocent man, part-time sheriff Roberto Valdez is nearly killed and run out of town when he seeks justice for the dead man’s family. But the same townsfolk who laughed at Valdez’s dark skin, mocked his decency, and tied him to a cross will find themselves on the wrong side of a gun when the lawman comes back to deliver his own brand of justice.

Carradine tells us a good story here.

I have seen the movie, so I knew the story. Still loved listening to this. Keith Carradine keeps a good pace here, and his twangy voice puts you right back in the "old west".

An Excellent Audiobook, Apparently Abridged

I completely enjoyed this audiobook. The narration by Keith Carradine is excellent. I need to add that I have never read this particular novel. I cannot compare it to the audiobook. I am under the impression it is abridged. However it is an excellent listening experience. ThNk You...

Valdez is Coming

Fun recording! A little like watching the story on a vintage TV show but having your imagination fill in the blanks which is way better. I look forward to more stories to blank out the hassles of rush hour traffic.

Great story, great narratot

Elmore Leonard story and Keith Carradine's voice makes for a great tale. get it today.

Good Deal

Granted this is a rather short and quick paced story, but it is still pretty good. I know the concept is pretty standard fare. The unassuming guy who turns out to be a stone cold killer. Then again you have to realize how long ago this was written.
