Roommates Kelly and Chl?e are enjoying their lives and their downtown Detroit loft just fine. Kelly is a Victoria s Secret catalog model. Chl?e is an escort， until she decides to ditch her varied clientele in favor of a steady gig as girlfriend to eighty-four-year-old retired lawyer Tony Paradiso， a.k.a. Mr. Paradise. Evenings at Mr. Paradise s house， there s always an old Michigan football game on TV. And when Chl?e s around， there s a cheerleader， too， complete with pleated skirt and blue-and-gold pompoms. One night Chl?e convinces Kelly to join in the fun， along with Montez Taylor， Tony s smooth-talking right-hand man. But things go awry and before the end of the evening there will be two corpses， two angry hit men， one switch of identity， a safe-deposit box full of loot up for grabs， and， fast on the scene， detective Frank Delsa， who now has another double homicide -- and this one with a beautiful， willful witness -- to add to his already heavy caseload. With a cool cast， snappy dialogue， and all the twists and turns fans crave， Mr. Paradise is Elmore Leonard at home in Detroit and sharper than ever.
