Lawrence Block is the recipient of a Grand Master Award from the Mystery Writers of America and a New York Times bestselling author. His prolific career spans over one hundred books, including four bestselling series and dozens of short stories and articles. He has won multiple Edgar and Shamus awards, two Falcon Awards from the Maltese Falcon Society of Japan, the Nero and Philip Marlowe Awards, the Cartier Diamond Dagger from the Crime Writers Association of America, and many others. Aside from being a mystery writer, he has also written a number of episodes for television, including two episodes of the ESPN series Tilt; he also cowrote the screenplay for the film My Blueberry Nights, starring Norah Jones. Block currently lives in New York City with his wife, Lynne.
For more than a century, a private club of thirty-one men has met once a year to celebrate their accomplishments and eulogize those of their group who have passed away. When only one man remains alive, he selects thirty more to continue the legacy. Now someone appears to be hastening the demise of the current members, and Matthew Scudder is hired to find the killer. Actor Ken Howard superbly narrates, using some changes in tone and pitch to indicate character changes. Abridged recordings are like movies; while almost never as good as the complete book, they can be very entertaining. Commuters, joggers and others looking for three hours of entertainment will find it here. J.L. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
