Blurb: “"The best American writer of crime fiction alive" (Newsweek) outdoes himself in GET SHORTY, a novel that proves the successful crook has all the job skills required to make it in Hollywood. GET SHORTY features the real-life characters, scams, surprises, gunplay, and read-aloud dialogue you expect from Elmore Leonard, and something more: the benefit of his twenty years' experience in the film industry.

GET SHORTY follows the fortunes of Chili Palmer, a Miami loan shark with a talent for making a slow pay come across by saying just three words: "Look at me." Chili's pursuit of a mark who's behind in his payments takes him first to Las Vegas, and then to Hollywood and horror-film producer Harry Zimm. Harry has gambled away $200,000 earmarked for his next production in an attempt to raise enough money to interest superstar Michael Weir in a high-concept film Harry is certain will be a hit.

But now his "investors" want to know where their money is, and one of them, Bo Catlett, will kill to protect his interests.”
