Learn moreOne of the most highly acclaimed novelists in the crime genre, Lawrence Block is also a master of the short story. The sixteen stories (and one stage play!) collected here feature appearances by some of Block s most famous characters, including burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr and private detective Matt Scudder, as well as glimpses into the minds of a rogue's gallery of killers, sociopaths, and crooked cops. You'll meet a compulsive hoarder whose towering piles of trash and treasures hide disturbing secrets...a beautiful young tennis star with a possessive secret admirer...a dealer in stolen art who is unwilling to part with his most prized possession...poker players with agendas that have nothing to do with the cards in their hands...and a catch-and-release fisherman whose preferred catch walks on two legs.
Lawrence Block has been writing crime, mystery, and suspense fiction for over fifty years. He has published more than a hundred books and no end of short stories. He is best known for his series characters, including Matthew Scudder, Bernie Rhodenbarr, Evan Tanner, and Keller. Named a Grand Master by Mystery Writers of America, he is a multiple winner of the Edgar Allan Poe and Shamus awards, and recognition for his lifetime achievement includes the UK Crime Writers Association’s Diamond Dagger.
