Elmore Leonard 
Mr Paradise [EPUB ebook] 

‘Sharp as an ice pick . . . You will love this excellent book’ New York Times’Mr. Paradise is a perfect crime caper from a master . . . what more do you want?’ Detroit Free Press 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…’Glittering black comedy, a razor-sharp cast of crooks and con men. Very funny, exceedingly tough . . . told in a dialogue sharp enough to draw blood’ Literary Review
