A collection of 15 stories, 11 of which have never been previously published, from the early career of bestselling American master Elmore Leonard. Marked by his unmistakable grit and humour, the stories in Charlie Martz and Other Stories - produced early in his career, when he was making his name particularly with westerns - reveal a writer in transition, exploring new voices and locations, from the bars of small-town New Mexico and Michigan to a film set in Hollywood, a hotel in Southern Spain, even a military base in Kuala Lumpur.
