Fifty-Two Pick Up | Elmore Leonard
8 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Mitchell, in his forties, is a self-made man who owns a factory in Detroit and has been happily married for twenty years. Then he slips. He sets up a young 'model' in an apartment, and blackmail ensues in the shape of three masked men. But the thugs reckon without his desire for revenge.

We begin this week with a surprise book haul from Matt! After that, we discuss “52 Pickup“ by Elmore Leonard, a lesser known novel from the legendary writer but a very good novel none the less. Also, Peter discusses his first impressions of Leonard and why ultimately he is such a fantastic writer. Enjoy!

This was a book I read recently, really enjoyed it - got it at a library sale at Lake Chautauqua over the summer (5$ for a bag of books - yes I'm in thank you) - there is #murder in it .

This was a good read - #Two4Tuesday I would suggest Leonard's character Mitchell from this book to play Chili Palmer from Get Shorty! I think this book reads like a preview of things to come in his other books -

#SuperSeptember #BookSpinBingo one more book to go -

Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 and @TheAromaofBooks and thanks for the tag @TheSpineView

Make a great day everyone - 🙂
