<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Mob-connected loan shark Chili Palmer is sick of the Miami grind. So when he chases a deadbeat client to Hollywood, he decides to stay. This town of dream makers, glitter, and gorgeous, partially-clad starlets seems ideal for an enterprising criminal with a cinematic taste.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><P>Loan shark Chili Palmer didn't say anything when Ray Bones stole his leather jacket from Vesuvio's in Miami. He just went to Ray's house, broke his nose, took the jacket, and left. Twelve years later, on account of his boss getting whacked, Chili finds himself working for Bones and ordered to collect on a bad debt from Leo Devoe, a guy who died in a plane crash. But it turns out Leo isn't dead; he's in Las Vegas with the $300,000 the airline paid to his wife. So Chili follows him to Vegas and then on to Hollywood, where he hooks up with movie producers, actors, and studio execs. Getting Leo becomes a movie pitch unfolding in a city where every move you make is a potential scene, and making it big isn't all that different from making your bones: You gotta know who to pitch, who to hit, and how to knock 'em dead.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An absolute master."--The Detroit News<br><br>"The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!"--The New York Times Book Review<br><br>An absolute master. --The Detroit News<br><br>The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever! --The New York Times Book Review<br><br>"An absolute master." -- The Detroit News<br><br>?The greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever!?The New York Times Book Review ?An absolute master.?The Detroit News<br>
