Stick: A Novel
Categories: Books, Mystery, Thriller & Suspense, Thrillers & Suspense

“A slam-bang, no-bull action thriller…and nobody but nobody writes better dialogue.” — New York Daily News It’s an established fact: Elmore Leonard is “the uncontested master of the crime thriller” ( Washington Post ) who “does crime fiction better than anyone” ( Cleveland Plain Dealer ), and nowhere is this more obvious than in the pages of Stick . After serving time for armed robbery, Ernest "Stick" Stickley is back on the outside and trying to stay legit. But it&apos;s tough staying straight in a crooked town -- and Miami is a pirate&apos;s paradise, where investment fat cats and lowlife drug dealers hold hands and dance. And when a crazed player chooses Stick at random to die for another man&apos;s sins, the struggling ex-con is left with no choice but to dive right back into the game. Besides, Stick knows a good thing when he sees it -- and a golden opportunity to run a very profitable sweet revenge scam seems much too tasty to pass up.
