52 Pickup: A Novel | Elmore Leonard
8 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
52 Pickup is a rip-roaring thriller from master of crime fiction Elmore Leonard, the New York Times bestselling author of Raylan, Get Shorty, Killshot, and other novels of suspense. Detroit businessman Harry Mitchell has had only one affair in his twenty-two years of happy matrimony. Unfortunately, someone caught his indiscretion on film and now wants Harry to fork over one hundred grand to keep his infidelity a secret. And if Harry doesnt pay up, the blackmailer and his associates plan to press a lot harderup to and including homicide, if necessary. But the psychos picked the wrong pigeon for their murderous scam. Because Harry Mitchell doesnt get mad...he gets even.

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 - 🙂
