Mr. Paradise

"Like the best crime thrillers--which means like most of Leonard's work--this novel is character-driven, and in its wonderfully rich, authentically human cast the story finds its surprises. The prose, as expected from Leonard, is perfect--in 304 pages, there's not a word that doesn't belong exactly where he's placed it. Brilliantly constructed, wise and tough, this book, like so many recent Leonards, offers a master class in how to write a novel."Leonard, Elmore is the author of 'Mr. Paradise' with ISBN 9780060589660 and ISBN 0060589663.
