The Moonshine War

By Elmore Leonard
The Moonshine War by Elmore Leonard digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Prohibition is a big headache for some . . . and a big payday for others, the fearless entrepreneurs with little respect for the law of the land. With $125,000 worth of Kentucky's finest homemade whiskey in his possession, big, hell-raising Son Martin counts himself among the latter. Son knows having this much illegal hooch makes him a very tasty target, but nobody's going to steal it from him. Ware may be coming to his backyard, but Son's not worried. Because when it comes to fighting, shooting, and keeping one step ahead of the Big Boys, he's more than good—he's bad . . . and dangerous . . . and deadly.

The Moonshine War Reviews

3.5
“Before I finally came to realization that I am not an audiobook person I tried to listen to this via Audible.com but I didn't get far. The story was engaging but I just don't have the attentiveness to listen to books on tape. I am horrible at multitasking and my commute to work is only 5-8 minutes so it is not feasible to listen while driving. So I abandoned the audio and told myself that I would continue reading it in proper book form. The only problem was that it took me six months to get around to checking it out from the library. This is a riveting tale of a battle of wits over 150 barrels of whiskey hidden in the Kentucky hills during Prohibition in 1931. The dialogue and characterizations were excellent. I kept guessing who would win the war up til the last couple paragraphs with the great suspenseful ending. Son Martin is not one to mess with.”
Thumbs Up“Excellent quick read. Felt very much like it would fit in the world of Justified.”
