52 Pickup

Description

Elmore Leonard is the master of the understated crime novel, and 52 Pickup is one of his most darkly comic achievements. The story follows a woman who, after being fired, decides to commit a crime of desperation: she steals a car and begins a desperate, darkly funny crime spree that spirals into something much bigger than she ever intended. Leonard's signature voice — the deadpan humor, the razor-sharp dialogue, and the characters who are all slightly unhinged in their own way — makes this one of his most memorable novels. It's a story about bad decisions, good writing, and the kind of humor that only Leonard can deliver. Grab the EPUB edition and experience one of the best crime novels of the early 2000s.
