Orange County Register

  “Quality writing and storytelling . . . Block puts Scudder through his paces with a sure hand.”

  Orlando Sentinel

  “Whether he’s slashing away at detective stereotypes with his hero Matt Scudder, or slicing right to the heart of a scenario with his succinct prose, Block always cuts right to the bone of a story.”

  Grand Rapids Press

  “Block has a fine ear for language and he does some of his best writing ever . . . Block’s work rises beyond the realm of simple whodunits, and into that lofty territory of serious writing . . . Watching Scudder try to figure it all out—and stay alive in the meantime—is reading time well spent.”
