Product Description

Product Description

Psycho mama's boy Teddy Magyk has a serious jones for the Miami cop who put him away for raping a senior citizen -- but he wants to hit Vincent Mora where it really hurts before killing him. So when a beautiful Puerto Rican hooker takes a swan dive from an Atlantic City high-rise and Vincent naturally shows up to investigate the questionable death of his "special friend," Teddy figures he's got his prey just where he wants him. But the A.C. dazzle is blinding the Magic Man to a couple of very hard truths: Vincent Mora doesn't forgive and forget ... and he doesn't die easy.



From the Publisher

Vincent Mora just can't win. He's been shot, his girlfriend is about to be tossed off a balcony, and there's a vengeful creep looking to even a twisted score. Set against the tacky glitter of Atlantic City's billion-dollar casinos, Glitz has all the classic Leonard touches: quirky characters, colorful and cinematic scenes, and dialogue that's, well, to die for. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great writing chops don't make up for lame plot, characters, April 14 2004
By Robert J. Schwartz (RTP, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was dazzled by Leonard's writing here, but as the story progressed I didn't feel any simpathy for the sleazy characters or feel very intrested in the plot.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Elmore Leonard's greatest crime novels, Mar 10 2004
By Tom Benton (North Springfield, VT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Elmore Leonard is definitely my favorite author. The way he cruises through the text and keeps you hooked along every word is a talent only he posesses. GLITZ is one of Mr. Leonard's greatest crime novels, an intriguing work that hooks you from the first sentence and holds on to you until the finale.

Seven years ago, Teddy Magyk (a.k.a. "Mr. Magic") was imprisoned after Vincent Mora brought him down for raping a senior citizen. Now Teddy's out, and he wants revenge. But there are some things he didn't count on. One, Vincent Mora isn't going to go down without a fight; and two, Vincent still has the mean look in his eyes...

Here, Mr. Leonard has written a movie-like crime thriller that will definitely not leave his many fans disappointed. I highly recommend you go out and buy "Glitz".

5.0 out of 5 stars Leonard is most definately the man!, Aug 10 2001
By Groovy (Atlanta,GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glitz (Paperback)
My first leonard novel was Rum Punch,I have been hooked ever since.I have bought 15 of his books,Glitz is my overwhelming favorite.I often wonder why this novel has not been made into a movie.The way he goes from one scene to the next reminds me of the movie experience.Teddy is the most interesting character I can think of.If you could not find this book absolutely compelling,you may be comatose,or maybe you're just a jerk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way Too Much Hype about this guy
When I bought this book, I believed I was going to read the cream of the crop of crime novels. It isn't. The main character lacks charisma big time. Read more
