Perfect for you if...

You love crime thrillers with genuinely twisted villains who feel unpredictable and dangerous, not just evil for evil's sake.
You appreciate lean, propulsive writing that moves at a sprint without sacrificing character depth or dark humour.
You've watched Justified or The Sopranos and want prose that matches the tension and craft of prestige TV crime drama.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer mysteries where the puzzle matters more than the characters or want a detective methodically solving a case.
You're looking for moral clarity or heroes who feel heroic. Leonard's characters operate in grey zones.
You need your thrillers padded with subplots, romance, or lengthy exposition. This one is tight and focused.

About this book

Glitz is a noir crime novel centered on a cat-and-mouse conflict between a Miami cop and a psycho killer with a personal vendetta. The story involves a mama's boy antagonist and unfolds as a thriller with elements of suspense and violence. The novel features the kind of crime fiction storytelling associated with genre masters like John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain. Leonard is known for creating memorable characters, including U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens from the TV series Justified.
