This just in from the one and only Jeffery Deaver!
An absolute delight! Bernie has always been one of my favorite heroes and I couldn’t restrain my excitement when I learned he was back. This is classic Block: Clever, original, fast-paced, and populated with characters we completely believe and love spending time with. Retirement be damned! Larry better be at work on the next one in the series. That’s all I can say.
As much as Larry deserves a happy retirement, I can’t help but agree with Mr. Deaver about this! Bernie is one of my favorites.
In view of the fact that writing and self-publishing THE BURGLAR WHO COUNTED THE SPOONS has been more flat-out fun than I’ve had in 55 years in the business, I guess retirement will have to wait. Right now I don’t have time for it.

Thank god for that! Please don’t retire again any time soon…
I’m a French reader and I’m so damn happy to read that Bernie will be back soon. And please Mr. Block, take care of yourself! We need you!
Bernie is back! If it took LB being retired to bring him back than I say viva retirement!
