INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
If you know anything about this series, you'll know that it's the best there is, no argument ... Great stuff
THE TIMES
Matt Scudder is a superbly drawn, sympathetic character, but there's another reason for reading Scudder novels: no one does New York better than Lawrence Block
Harlan Coben
One of the best ever. Block was, and remains, a pioneer
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Matt Scudder books are built on character, atmosphere, crackling dialogue and a great deal of brooding-the taste for them is addictive.
GUARDIAN
One of crime writing's most accomplished stylists
BOOKPAGE
A tense plot, expressive writing and unusual and thoroughly real people with desperate problems. Not a book for the weak-hearted!

One of the very best writers now working the beat ... Block has done something new and remarkable with the private eye novel

NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF BOOKS
The next time that friends come to town expecting a personal tour of the real New York City, here's what to hand them: a subway map, a fistful of tokens, and Lawrence Block's big bruiser of a crime novel, A Walk Among the Tombstones
Jonathan Kellerman
Lawrence Block is a master ... the Matthew Scudder novels are among the finest detective books penned in this century
DAILY TELEGRAPH
Block is a flat-out entertainer

Enough pleasures and excitements to keep us smiling and breathing hard all the way through
