"It's San Francisco-centric in this atmospheric collection of noir; hard-boiled and twisted. Dark, smooth fiction digging deep into different neighbourhoods and ethnicities. The sound is pitch-perfect, too, from the understated staccato of old lost souls to the jiving rap of younger ones." - Cara Black"
Lawrence Block is also the bestselling author of The Burglar on the Prowl, Burglars Can't Be Choosers and The Devil Knows You're Dead among other titles. His series characters - Matthew Scudder, Bernie Rhodenbarr, Evan Tanner, Chip Harrison and Keller - all live in Manhattan.
