Book description
Rome: McCabe and Chip, two American exchange students, are about to
become embroiled with a violent street gang, a beautiful Italian girl
and a flawed kidnapping plan. Detroit: Sharon Vanelli's affair with
Joey Palermo, a Mafia enforcer, is about to be discovered by her
husband, Ray, a secret service agent. Brilliantly plotted and shot
through with wry humour, All He Saw Was the Girl takes place as these
two narratives converge in the backstreets of Italy's oldest city. A
thrilling ride, it once again displays Peter Leonard's genius for
exploring the wrong turns that life can take. Peter Leonard's growing

characters'), and publications as diverse as Uncut ('sensational'),
the Daily Mirror ('stunning') and the Big Issue ('brilliantly snappy').
Peter Leonard's debut novel Quiver, was published to
international acclaim in 2008, and was followed by Trust Me in 2009.
