Introduction

In this sinister comedy, the mob blackmails a pedophile priest in ordeer to take over his lucrative charity, The Children's Crusade. Events follow fast: a car bombing, an exorcism that ends in terror, a raid on a brothel, a college commencement that turns into a shoot-out, a basketball game when rival gamblers have bribed both teams. Alternately blood-curdling and hilarious, this gripping story is full of sudden twists. Fans of the thrillers of Elmore Leonard, Carl Hiassen, and Janet Evanovich will find A Hoarse Half-human Cheer in the same league.
