52 Pickup

A Novel

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 doesn’t pay up, the blackmailer and his associates plan to press a lot harder—up to and including homicide, if necessary.

But the psychos picked the wrong pigeon for their murderous scam. Because Harry Mitchell doesn’t get mad...he gets even.

So good

I couldn’t stop. It was one of those I started and finished in one shift of work. So far if I had to pick favorite Leonard novels this one would high on the list along with Killshot and…I don’t know. I’ve read several of his and not a one of them has been a dud.

Elmore is always solid

Nice to have another EL book available on audible - I listened to it in a day. Always good - and great narration.
