La Brava by Elmore Leonard
Extortion and corruption in seedy South Florida, by the master of American crime
Joe LaBrava has an eye for the perfect shot
A former Secret Service agent, he’s now a photographer documenting Miami’s street life. What’s more, he’s good: really good, according to his pal Maurice. He just needs to catch a break. When Maurice asks for his help sorting a problem for a friend, and that friend turns out to be Jean Shaw, the retired movie star Joe’s been crazy in love with ever since he was a boy, it seems too good to be true – even when the problem in question is blackmail.
Elmore Leonard (1925—2013) began his long and extraordinary career as a writer of Westerns, most famously a story which was made into the film 3:10 To Yuma. He then became known for his remarkable sequence of crime novels, generally set in Michigan or Florida. A master of funny and threatening dialogue, his influence has been incalculable. Leonard received the Lifetime Achievement Award from PEN US and the Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America.
