A Hollywood hit....Taut, inimitable prose and characters who could have only sprung from the mind of Elmore Leonard.
--Detroit News
The Chicago Tribune has dubbed Elmore Leonard, the coolest, hottest writer in America. In the same league as the legendary great ones--John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain--the King Daddy of crime writers (Seattle Times) demonstrates his remarkable mastery with Get Shorty, one of the most adored of his forty-plus novels. The basis of the hit movie starring John Travolta and Danny DeVito, Get Shorty chronicles the over-the-top, sometimes violent Hollywood misadventures of a Florida mob loan shark who chases a deadbeat client all the way to Tinseltown and decides to stick around and make movies. Get Shorty's shylock protagonist, Chili Palmer, is a truly inspired creation--as memorable as another unforgettable Leonard hero, U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified--and readers will relish his moves and countermoves in this electrifying, funny, bullet train-paced winner from the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever! (New York Times Book Review)
