Description

Format: Mass Market Paperback, 336pp. ISBN: 0060089598 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Pub. Date: July 2002 Another crime classic by the bestselling author of Be Cool and Cuba Libre. Charlie Lawson has the Touch. A former Franciscan monk kicked out of the Order for faith-healing too many of the afflicted, now he finds it hard to be a saint in the city, as his.gift attracts a slew of cash-hungry hucksters and a beautiful baton-twirler who wants him to lay his hands on her. This Quill edition features an introduction that appeared only in the hardcover edition, in which Leonard discusses the novel's unusual subject, noting, I had a good time writing Touch, imagining mystical things happening to an ordinary person in a contemporary setting. Treating a theme that has found new timeliness, Touch is perhaps Leonard's most moving, erotic love story; yet its violent and unexpected climax is pure, suspenseful Leonard.
