ELMORE LEONARD
American novelist and playwright (1925 - )

The church had become a tomb where forty-seven bodies turned to
leather and stains had been lying on the concrete floor the past
five years, though not lying where they had been shot with
Kalashnikovs or hacked to death with machetes. The benches had
been removed and the bodies reassembled: men, women and small
children laid in rows of skulls and spines, femurs, fragments of
cloth stuck to mummified remains, many of the adults missing
feet, all missing bones had been carried off by scavenging dogs.
