Reformed jewel thief Jack Delaney was going straight - until he met sexy ex nun Lucy Nichols. Jack's in the funeral business and when he's sent to collect a body from a leper hospital, he finds it in Sister Lucy's care - and very much alive.
Lucy's on a goodwill mission, hoping to smuggle the 'deceased' away from her dangerous ex, a Nicaraguan colonel with guns and goons aplenty. And it just so happens the colonel's also got several million dollars that could aid Lucy's quest to help mankind.With a crazy plan in hand and ex cop Roy Hicks on board, they plot to rob the colonel's coffers and they're sure to make out like bandits - if they live that long...Elmore Leonard has written more than 40 books during his phenomenal career, many of which have been made into successful movies. In 2006 he was the recipient of the CWA Diamond Dagger.
