About the Author
Elmore Leonard has written more than three dozen books including
Cuba Libre, Rum Punch, and
Get Shorty, and numerous screenplays. He has an unparalleled reputation among lovers of mayhem, suspense, and just plain wonderful writing. A Grand Master Award winner of the Mystery Writers of America, he has been likened to everyone from Balzac to Dostoevsky to Dickens to Dashiell Hammett -- but he is, in fact, entirely and entertainingly
sui generis.
He lives in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
