  Get Shorty’s Chili Palmer is back in Be Cool, a classic novel of suspense from New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard. But this time it’s no more Mr. Nice Guy. 
  After a smash hit and a flop, B-movie-producer Chili Palmer is looking for another score. Lunching with a record company executive, Chili's exploring a hot new idea—until the exec, a former "associate" from Chili's Brooklyn days, gets whacked. 
  Segue from real life to reel life. Chili's found his plot. It's a slam-bang opener: the rubout of a record company mogul. Cut to an ambitious wannabe singer named Linda Moon. She has attitude and a band. She's perfect. Zoom in to reality. Linda's manager thinks Chili's poaching and he's out to get even, with the help of his switch-hitting Samoan bodyguard.

  She has no idea what she’s doing. Loose cannons never hit their targets. And they take out plenty of collateral damage. Four years ago Lindsay experienced the unspeakable right before me, and I couldn’t stop them. But that’s all changed now. When her father, Senator Bosworth, contacted me to ask — demand — that I protect her, it was a second chance. A shot at redemption. An opportunity to right an unspeakable wrong. Controlling Lindsay as she seeks her revenge on the monsters who hurt her won’t be hard. Containing my own out-of-control feelings for Lindsay and keeping up this ruse of cold-blooded distance will be. Even harder than admitting to her what really happened that night four years ago. It turns out I don’t have to, though. Someone else did it for me. And I’ll make sure they regret it.

  The Great Escape from the...

  The Inescapable Prison has long stood as a symbol of absolute confinement, a fortress so impenetrable that even the thought of escape seemed futile. Perched on an isolated island, surrounded by treacherous waters and patrolled by an elite cadre of guards, this prison was designed to crush not just the body but also the spirit. Its towering walls, crafted from stone rumored to be unbreakable, and its maze-like interiors presented an overwhelming challenge for anyone bold—or desperate—enough to dream of freedom. Over decades, countless prisoners tried to outwit the prison’s relentless grip, and every attempt ended the same way: failure. 
    
  Yet, one astonishing escape shattered this narrative. It was not achieved by a team of trained spies or hardened criminals with an arsenal of resources. Instead, it was the work of ordinary men driven by extraordinary resolve. They weren’t just fighting for freedom; they were fighting against the very idea of impossibility. What makes their story so remarkable is not just the outcome, but the sheer ingenuity, determination, and courage that brought them to the brink of what seemed unattainable. 
    
  This book tells the true tale of how these men, trapped in the most secure prison of their time, defied insurmountable odds. With nothing more than their wits and an unyielding desire to reclaim their lives, they devised a plan so daring, so intricate, that it remains one of the most celebrated escapes in history. Each step of their journey—from the formation of their plan to the harrowing final moments of their flight—is a testament to human resilience and resourcefulness.
