Chili Palmer Story Archive Access

Elmore Leonard passed away in 2013. Before his death, he hinted at a third Chili Palmer novel that would have tackled the world of streaming television. That manuscript does not exist in a publishable form. As such, the remains permanently open-ended, a frozen moment of perfection.

The film follows Chili as he moves from the movie business to the music industry. After witnessing the murder of his friend Tommy Athens, a record executive, Chili steps in to help Tommy’s widow, Edie, resurrect her late husband’s label by promoting a talented young singer named Linda Moon. chili palmer story archive
