Publisher's Note By the author "Newsweek" calls "the best American writer of crime fiction alive", "Get Shorty" features the real-life characters, scams, surprises, gunplay, and read-aloud dialogue readers expect from Elmore Leonard.
In a novel filled with his signatures -- nerve-shattering suspense, crackling dialogue, scathing wit -- Elmore Leonard proves once again why he sets the standard against which all other crime novels are measured. In Get Shorty, he takes a mobster to Hollywood, where the women are gorgeous, the men are corrupt, and making it big isnt all that different from making your bones: you gotta know who to pitch, who to hit, and how to knock 'em dead.Get Shorty is now a major motion picture directed by Barry Sonnenfeld and starring John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Ren Russo and Danny DeVito.
