Even the Wicked: A Matthew Scudder Novel
This is far from the best of Lawrence Block's landmark Scudder series-too little action or suspense, too much domestic bliss--so I'll just use its publication as an excuse to introduce newcomers to some past glories. The best of them all is stillWhen the Sacred Ginmill Closes, definitely on my short list of the 100 Best Mysteries. But close behind are such other Scudder classics asA Long Line of Dead Men,A Dance at the Slaughterhouse,The Devil Knows You're Dead,Eight Million Ways to Die,In the Midst of Death,A Ticket to the Boneyard, andA Walk Among the Tombstones.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
