He’d have been happy to talk it out. He asked nice, but they wanted a war. So they got Lou, who’s always way more trouble than anybody’s ever expecting.Even with a bum ankle, Lou’s still the best street fighter in Chicago. And in New York, he’s also got a secret weapon—a smooth New York P.I. who knows his way around the local crime empires.As always, a good part of the fun is watching everyone underestimate a short, pudgy underdog, and the satisfaction of witnessing their thoroughgoing annihilation.New location and crime-fighting partner; same funny, quirky brand of noir, plus fast-moving action for hard-boiled fans and the latest episode in a one-of-a-kind, against-all-odds love story.Duane Lindsay’s genius for creating vibrant characters and brilliant plots is in top form here.

Westlake and Lawrence Block’s Bernie Rhodenbarr series.
