Montgomery Advisor

  “It is wonderful to know that Lawrence Block—with his street smarts, his innate system of right and wrong, and his quirky vision of who we all are—knocks the ball out of the park each time he’s at bat.”

  Detroit News

  “Block is better than almost anyone.”

  Atlanta Journal Constitution

  “No one familiar with contemporary American crime fiction can be unaware of Lawrence Block and Matthew Scudder, his great addition to the p.i. pantheon. THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU’RE DEAD is more of the same good thing.”

  Chicago Tribune

  “A grim and gritty New York City is as much a character as the victim and the murderer in this excellent example of the detective noir. . . . Block plays fair with the reader, taking him along each step with patience and intelligence. He draws a dramatic picture of New York, of the denizens of the underside of the city, and of a man who is trying to make his own life make sense in a senseless universe.”

  Dallas Morning News

  “A terrific thriller writer.”

  Washington Post

  “Dark, moody, and intelligent . . . a thriller for thinkers. . . . Few authors can create the textural terrain of a Block. . . . Readers, go get his book. He deserves your purchase, you deserve his gifts.”

  Los Angeles Times
