Exhilarating old-school crime fiction that the late, great John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Robert Parker would have been proud to call their own, Unknown Man #89 is a gemnothing less than wed expect from the man who created the incomparable U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified .
