Chili Palmer is a debt collector for the mob in Miami who travels via Las Vegas to Hollywood to recover an outstanding loan.
While there he converts into a movie producer, meeting various Hollywood types along the way and puts together a script.
This isn't one of Elmore's best, our hero is a bit too lucky and clever and there is not enough of the subtle violence that mark Leonard's best. Tends to be boring actually.
This book has been made into a movie, which is a movie about getting a movie made. Altogether too smart arsed.
