Product Description

Product Description

This omnibus edition contains 58 stories previously uncollected in the UK, plus 12 additional stories. The collection features many of Block's best-loved characters, including Matt Scudder (eight stories), Ehrengraf (nine stories), Chip Harrison (two stories) and Bernie Rhodenbarr (three stories).


From the Author

All modesty aside. . .
. . .I'm embarrassingly proud of this volume. With the exception of some early pulp material not worth preserving, it contains all my short fiction written over the past (gulp) four decades. The stories from my three previously-published collections are here, along with a dozen or so new works. Stories featuring my series characters---Matthew Scudder, Bernie Rhodenbarr, Martin Ehrengraf, Chip Harrison, Keller---are grouped accordingly. Orion have produced a very attractive volume, and their edition is the only one available; the book's not been published in the States, so this is the true first edition, and, for the foreseeable future, the only one. I do hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, it's hefty enough to make a dandy doorstop. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars 71 short mystery stories, 12 May 2001
By A Customer
This collection of seventy one short stories by Lawrence Block contains virtually all of his well known characters such as Matt Scudder, Bernie "the burglar" Rhodenbarr, Chip Harrison, Keller and my favourite Martin Ehrengraf (the psycho defence lawyer that's a cross between Lionel Hutz and Joe Pesci's character from Goodfellas) as well as around thirty other self contained stories.

All effortless reading and non stop suspense from one of the finest writers. This book despite it's size is the perfect companion for train, bus and plane rides. The language is clear, straight forward and not obnoxiously wordy leaving the reader to enjoy the stories for what they are, stories and very entertaining ones at that.

This compilation contains some stories not previously published in the UK as well as a number of others that were originally published in Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine.
