Mr Paradise
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...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.
