Open LibraryAbout this book
After one triumph and one flop, Mafia loan-shark-turned-Hollywood producer Chili Palmer is desperate for another hit... of the celluloid sort. When a similarly relocated former mob associate takes a hit of the bullet-in-the-brain variety while they're power-lunching, Chili begins to see all kinds of story possibilities. The whacked recording company mogul's midday demise is leading Chili into the twisted world of rock stars, pop divas, and hip-hop gangstas, which is rife with drama, jealousy, and betrayal -- all the stuff that makes big box office. Tinsel Town had better take cover, because Chili Palmer's working on another movie. And that's when people tend to die. Leonard's sequel to the highly successful *Get Shorty*.
