“Against all odds, Block will have you rooting for the professional killer.”
“As entertaining as we’ve come to expect from Block’s books.”
“A knockout. . . . Block delivers a one-two punch of humor and introspection.”
“One of the best novels of the summer season. Block remains a true master of the crime genre.”
“Crazy, good fun, crafted by an experienced mystery writer who should never put down his pen.”
“If there is one crime writer currently capable of matching the noirish legacies of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, it’s Lawrence Block.”
“An odd and appealing combination of the hard-boiled, the surreal and the whimsical. Keller grows on us.”
“[An] engrossing thriller”
“Block’s trademark blend of humor and violence is a good fit for the deadpan Keller. . . . One of the crime genre’s most unusual antiheroes.”
“Brisk, suspenseful, and funny.”
“Block treats both his unlikely hero’s initial flight and his attempt to establish a new identity in such painstaking detail that they become riveting....From the first, Keller assumes this hit will be his last case. Readers can only hope it isn’t so.”
