Elmore Leonard: Four Later Novels (LOA #280): Get Shorty / Rum

Elmore Leonard: Four Later Novels (LOA #280): Get Shorty / Rum Punch / Out of Sight / Tishomingo Blues (Library of America Elmore Leonard Edition)

The definitive edition of an American master of crime fictionÂ culminates with four modern classics. In Get Shorty, a MiamiÂ loan shark with an idea for a movie finds a way to breakÂ into Hollywood as a producer, the perfect setup for ElmoreÂ Leonardâ€™s brilliantly satiric take on an industry he knew well.Â Rum Punch (filmed by Quentin Tarantino as Jackie Brown inÂ 1997) shows an aging bail bondsman and an airline stewardessÂ matching wits against lawmen and criminals alike. In Out ofÂ Sight, deputy U.S. marshal Karen Sisco and escaped bankÂ robber Jack Foley find themselves thrust together in a highriskÂ fusion of violent adventure and unlikely romance; includedÂ as a special feature is â€œKaren Makes Out,â€ the story thatÂ introduced Sisco. The collection concludes with TishomingoÂ Blues, a kaleidoscopic story involving exhibition high divers,Â Civil War reenactors, and an unforgettable cast of gangstersÂ and hustlers. This is Elmore Leonard at his unbeatable best.
