The world of publishing has changed in the past 40 years, and Block has now expanded and updated his original text, bringing each chapter up to date and adding welcome new material on the ebook revolution, the phenomenon of self-publishing, and what perils and opportunities await the new novelist—and the veteran as well.

Danny Duncan drives his father’s Oldsmobile. It's a nice respectable family sedan, and April North is every bit as respectable as the car. Until he manages to get her into the back seat. Now she's no longer a good girl, but only Danny know it, and he can keep a secret, can’t he?

It's a pleasure to be able to bring back CIRCLE OF SINNERS, which was both easy and enjoyable to write—and, I can but hope, to read.

»Die Sünden der Väter« stellt Matthew Scudder vor, jenen New Yorker Privatdetektiv, der von Liam Neeson in »Ruhet in Frieden« auf der Leinwand verkörpert wurde.

“Adoro la serie di Matthew Scudder, e adoro queste storie brevi.”--Otto Penzler, Los Angeles Times, I dieci libri più amati del 2011

In 2005, Johnny Temple of Akashic Books chose me to edit an anthology of new dark stories set in Manhattan. Manhattan Noir was duly published the following year.

De data asta, fostul polițist, acum detectiv privat fără licență, încearcă să demonstreze că Richard Thurman, o figură pregnantă în oraș, a pus la cale uciderea cu brutalitate a frumoasei sale soții însărcinate.

En su cuarta aventura, Matthew Scudder reabre un caso que había investigado años antes como detective del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York.

In the era before he created moody private investigator Matthew Scudder, burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr, sleepless spy Evan Tanner, and the amiable hit man Keller—and years before his first Edgar Award—a young writer named Lawrence Block submitted a story titled "You Can't Lose" to Manhunt magazine. It was published, and the rest is history.

Louis Pinell freely admits to having slain seven women nine years ago -- but be swears it was a copycat who killed Barbara Ettinger Matthew Scudder believes him.

Bernie Rhodenbarr doesn't generally get philosophical about his criminal career. He's good at it, it's addictively exciting—and it pays a whole lot better than pushing old tomes. He steals therefore he is, period.
