Product Description

Product Description
Detroit businessman Harry Mitchell is a self-made man, happily married for over twenty-two years and a pillar of the community. But then he slips - he meets a young 'model' and begins an affair. One night he arrives at his girlfriend's apartment and finds more than he bargained for. Two masked men have caught his misdemeanours on camera and now they want a cool hundred grand. But they've picked the wrong man, because Harry Mitchell doesn't get mad - he gets even.

About the Author
Elmore Leonard has written more than three dozen books during his highly successful career, and many of his novels have been made into bestselling films. He has been named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America and lives in Bloomfield Village, Michigan, with his wife Christine.

5.0 out of 5 stars You cannot put this book down, 18 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 52 Pick-up (Paperback)
Brilliant book, plot opens like an onion skin, revealing more as you go along with twists that make you hold your breath. The final sting in the tale is classic Elmore Leonard. The man is a genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore the Title, 14 Jun 2006
By Big A (Bodrum, Turkey) - See all my reviews
If there is a reference in the book that clarifies the title then I missed it - not that it matters in the slightest. This is vintage Leonard. The main character is superbly well drawn as are the petty villains he has to deal with. What is more, you know what each one does for a living rather than their personalities being caricatured before being shoved in your face.

A very satisfying read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ignore Dr Sax, 1 Aug 2008
By Jade Okuda (Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
52 Pickup, refers to the pick up of 52,000 Dollars.
How DrSax in his review missed that point is beyond me.
