Classic, hard boiled detective thriller. Well written and very nicely read. Would make a nice movie.

This is one of Lawrence Block’s best. He takes you deep into the life of grifters practicing the “long con”. Characters are great, plot is excellent and there are some nice twists.

Great con story

One of my all time Favorite Hard Case Crime Novels. Lawrence Block at his best. AAA+++

Absolutely Fantastic

The Hard Case Crime series rarely seems to disappoint and Alan Sklar's narration is a perfect match for Block's writing.

Predictable, or so I thought!
