For a tough. American piece of writing, FIFTY‐TWO PICKUP by Elmore Leonard
(Delacorte, $6.95) is recommended. It is about a small‐business man hit by
a trio of blackmailers. He has been indiscreet, and they have the photos.
They are as vicious a trio as any big city (Detroit, in this case) can
spawn. But they have picked the wrong man, and he fights back. Leonard is a
very good writer; he manages to get into his characters and build a
believable situation. The dialogue reads in a natural manner, and is
certainly tough enough, yet there is an agreeable avoidance of four‐letter
words, proving that profanity and toughness do not necessarily have to
together.
