MANHATTAN NOIR
edited by Lawrence Block
257 pages, a trade paperback original, $14.95
Brand new stories by: Jeffery Deaver, Lawrence Block, Charles Ardai, Carol Lea Benjamin, Thomas H. Cook, Jim Fusilli, Robert Knightly, John Lutz, Liz Martínez, Maan Meyers, Martin Meyers, S.J. Rozan, Justin Scott, C.J. Sullivan, and Xu Xi.
LAWRENCE BLOCK has won most of the major mystery awards, and has been called the quintessential New York writer, although he insists the city’s far too big to have a quintessntial writer. His series characters—Matthew Scudder, Bernie Rhodenbarr, Evan Tanner, Chip Harrison, and Keller—all live in Manhattan; like their creator, they wouldn’t really be happy anywhere else.
