Elmore Leonard is a great crime writer. This is the second book in the Chili Palmer series - after Get Shorty. As always, quick, funny, quirky, with great, memorable characters.
From the author of "Get Shorty" and "Mr. Paradise". You know you will like this book since Hollywwood bought the rights and made a movie out of it. I found the book quite funny and much better than the movie.
