Short Story Reader

This one took a bit longer to get into than the previous works I've read of Leonard's. The plot doesn't really get ticking till ...

This is a basic introduction to Christianity in the second century. As such, it's a good summary of the various issues that the second c...

  This is one of the best books on questions related to the biblical canon that I've read. Laird managed to find new angles and new way...

Here's a short story that seems somewhat typical of Leonard's work: the violence, the tough guy focus, the criminal element. Even th...

The subtitle of this work is "High Noon in Detroit," which essentially sums up this cop versus robber (or really, killer) novel. R...

This is the first crime thriller I've read by Leonard, though of course I've seen several movies based on his work, movies, which I...
