Description

Tony Paradiso - aka Mr Paradise - gets his kicks from watching old football games on TV accompanied by live entertainment: sexy cheerleaders shaking their pom-poms and doing rah-rah routines for his viewing pleasure. But for Chloe Robinette, playing dress-up doesn't end so well when she's caught in the crossfire of a contract hit.

There are witnesses to the murders - Paradiso's right-hand man, Montez Taylor and Chloe's roommate Kelly - but neither is giving too much away. Because Montez and Kelly have a score in mind, a big payoff from Mr Paradise's estate - if only Kelly can convince the cops she's someone else...

Reviews

Another brilliant thriller from Elmore Leonard, with touches of black comedy, a cast of wonderful characters and dialogues sharp enough to shave with. * HUDDERSFIELD DAILY EXAMINER *
