Rest in peace, Mr. Leonard. You will be missed, but your books will live on.
Huh! I've read some of his Westerns recently, and they were written in or before the early 1970's (i.e. over 40 years ago). They were well known, but I guess they never hit the bestseller mark. I'm mildly surprized to hear that.
