Publisher Description
Touch is sensational suspense from the master of crime fiction, New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard.
A Michigan woman was blind and now she can see, after being touched by a young man who calls himself Juvenal. Maybe it was just coincidence, but Bill Hill—who used to run the spectacular Uni-Faith Ministry in Dalton, Georgia, and now sells RVs—can see dollar signs when he looks at this kid with the magic “touch.”
The trouble is that others see them also, including a wacko fundamentalist fascist with his own private army of the faithful and an assortment of media leeches. But everyone who’s looking to put the touch on the healer is in for a big surprise—because Juvenal’s got a trick or two up his sleeve that nobody sees coming.

“Turned down as a marketing problem because it couldn’t be ‘labeled’ 10 years ago, this novel will almost certainly be another of Leonard’s big hits. He writes in the sparse, word-perfect prose style that distinguishes Glitz, Bandits and all his bestsellers to tell a tender, funny, suspenseful story.”

Quotes
-
“Compelling, suspenseful, and a sheer pleasure to read.”
— People -
“Thoroughly entertaining…its twisty plot, curt characterization, and brilliant dialogue are all typical Leonard.”
— Chicago Tribune -
“Elmore Leonard does it again. But this time he’s done it differently. The familiar Leonard touchstones are all there: the taut, precise, and pitch-perfect dialogue, characters from the outer fringes of society who are looking in for an easy way in…However, this novel emerges as a story of innocence rather than crime.”
— United Press International
