More about the book
Roommates Kelly and Chloe are enjoying their lives and their loft just fine, thank you, working as a Victoria's Secret catalogue model and an escort, respectively. But then Chloe decides to ditch her calling in favour of a steady gig as girlfriend to 84-year-old retired lawyer Tony Paradiso, aka Mr. Paradise. Tony is a die-hard Michigan football fan, and his greatest pleasure is watching tapes of old games - with Chloe in attendance, of course, Michigan cheerleader uniform and all. One night Chloe 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, recently widowed detective Frank Delsa, who now has another double homicide - and this one with a beautiful, wilful witness - to add to his already heavy caseload.
