Fiction. Literature. Mystery. Thriller. HTML: Pagan Babies is classic crime fiction from the master of suspense, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard. 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 little 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. .… (altro)

Perfect Elmore Leonard book. Good coherent plot, great writing, interesting characters with authenic sounding dialogue. As usual, you can't go wrong with and Elmore Leonard book. (

It’s Elmore Leonard what mate needs to be said. It starts with a scam, it morphs into a multilayered scam, which turns into the opportunity for multiple crosses and double crosses to take place all with great humor. Another fun book by this author. (

this was really good! was wary because the beginning of the book takes place in post-genocide rwanda, then moves to detroit. but it was handled well. (

An entertaining potboiler about a con game, an ex-con, the Detroit mafia, and a man who may or may not be a priest. (

The church had become a tomb where forty-seven bodies turned to leather and stains had been lying on the concrete floor the past five years, though not lying where they had been shot with Kalashnikovs or hacked to death with machetes.
