I like consistency in my life, and with anything written by Mr. Leonard you know at the very least you are going to get great, sometimes brilliant.
This crime thriller is great and is set in his town of Detroit. We have one hooker and her model girlfriend going out for the evening to entertain a 80 year old retired lawyer. The entertaining comprises of dancing topless in cheerleader outfits.
Unfortunately, shortly after arriving we have two corpses, two upset hitmen, a change of identity and a safe deposit box everyone wants.
Then after this scenario is set, recently widowed police detective Frank Desla arrives on the scene and begins to unravel the confusion.
As always the story has Leonard's dark, dark humour throughout along with a great story. The perfect summer read.
