Description:
“The coolest, hottest
writer in America.” – Chicago Tribune.
Mob-connected loan shark
Chili Palmer is sick of the Miami grind – plus his “friends” have a bad habit
of dying there. So when he chases a deadbeat client out to Hollywood, Chili
figures he might like to stay. This town, with its dream-makers, glitter,
hucksters, and liars – plus gorgeous, partially clad would-be starlets
everywhere you look – seems ideal for an enterprising criminal with a taste for
the cinematic. Besides, Chili’s got an idea for a killer movie, though it could
very possibly kill him to get it made.
“The funniest crime
thriller ever set among the hustlers and con artist of the movie colony.” – Wall
Street Journal.
“A Hollywood hit…. Taut,
inimitable prose and characters who could have only sprung from the mind of
Elmore Leonard.”
– Detroit News.
“A terrific thriller….
The kind of entertainment that usually makes Hollywood types talk about selling
their souls (or their mothers).” – Orlando Sentinel.
Marbles:
Marbles
Daily grind got you down
…
printer consistently ignoring you …
endured pointless meetings that could
easily have been an email …
waiting for the coffee pot to brew?
Take a break and watch
some marbles drop into a dish.
It won’t solve your
problems, but it will give your brain a break for the duration of a tune.
Speeded up because time
is short, but not too short for a humorous distraction.
