Book details

Book description

Father Terry Dunn thought he'd seen everything on the mean streets of Detroit, but that was before he went on a little retreat to Rwanda to evade a tax-fraud indictment. Now the whiskey-drinking, Nine Inch Nails T-shirt-wearing padre is back trying to hustle up a score to help the orphans of Rwanda. But the fund-raising gets complicated when a former tattletale cohort pops up on Terry's tail. And then there's the lovely Debbie Dewey. A freshly sprung ex-con turned stand-up comic, Debbie needs some fast cash, too, to settle an old score. Now they're in together for a bigger payoff than either could finagle alone. After all, it makes sense . . . unless Father Terry is working a con of his own. Elmore Leonard has written more than forty books during his phenomenal career. Many of his books have been made into successful movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Rum Punch (which became Tarantino's Jackie Brown) and Killshot. In 2006 he was awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger.
