Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Like New. 1st Edition. 328 pp. SIGNED BY AUTHOR!!! Clean, fresh copy and dj with very light shelf wear, crisp pages and clean text. Even the Wicked is the thirteenth novel chronicling the ever-evolving life of Matthew Scudder. Once in a blue moon a killer with street smarts…and a sense of theatre will reach out and take the city by the throat. Maybe he'll write letters to a popular tabloid columnist, proclaiming himself the answer to a failed ciminal justice system. Maybe he'll point the finger at the kind of villain the law can't touch. A child killer who got off on a technicality, say. A top mobster with decades of blood on his hands. Maybe he's got a little hit list. Suppose he takes aim at a respectable lawyer. Suppose the lawyer's a friend of Matt Scudder. " One of the very best writers now working the beat." -- The Wall Street Journal. 328 pp. Signed by Author. Bradford Foltz (Jacket Design); Doug Mindell (Jacket Photo); Sigird Estrada (Author Photo); Renato Stanisic (Book Design) (illustrator). ***SIGNED BY AUTHOR!!!***.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 316, [4] pages. Autographed sticker on front of the DJ. Signed by the author on the title page. Private detective Matthew Scudder ventures into the dark and dangerous alleys of Hell's Kitchen to track the killer of a yuppie lawyer. Lawrence Block (born June 24, 1…938) is an American crime writer best known for two long-running New York-set series about the recovering alcoholic P.I. Matthew Scudder and the gentleman burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr. Block was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America in 1994. Block has written in the genres of crime, mystery, and suspense fiction for more than half a century, releasing over 100 books. The first of his work to appear under his own name was the 1957 story "You Can't Lose," for the crime/adventure magazine Manhunt. The first novel to be published under Block's name was Grifter's Game (1961). It started as an erotic novel but, as Block would later write, "I decided it might be a cut above what I'd been writing, so I wrote it as a crime novel with the hope it might work for Gold Medal." He has since published more than fifty novels and more than a hundred short stories, as well as a series of books for writers. Block's most famous creation, the ever-evolving Matthew Scudder, was introduced in 1976's The Sins of the Fathers as an alcoholic ex-cop working as an unlicensed private investigator in Hell's Kitchen. In 2005 he was honored with the Gumshoe Lifetime Achievement Award. In this city, there is little sense and no rules. Those who fly the highest often come crashing down the hardest -- like successful young Glenn Holtzmann, randomly blown away by a deranged derelict at a corner phone booth on Eleventh Avenue. Unlicensed p.i. Matt Scudder thinks Holtzmann was simply in the wrong place at the worst time. Others think differently -- like Thomas Sadecki, brother of the crazed Vietnam vet accused of the murder, who wants Scudder to prove the madman innocent. But no one is truly innocent in this unmerciful metropolis --including Matther Scudder, whose curiosity and dedication are leading him to dark, unexplored places in his own heart.and to passions and revelations that could destroy everything he loves. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mysteries of the heart eclipse those of the street in Matt Scudder's quietly compelling new case, which finds the p.i. avoiding the wrenching physical violence of his last few outings but falling prey to all sorts of emotional havoc. The crime on which Block hangs Scudder's latest study in angst is the apparent shooting death of attorney Glenn Holtzmann by deranged homeless vet George Sadecki. Despite strong evidence of Sadecki's guilt, the accused's brother hires Scudder to look into the caseâ"which the unlicensed p.i. does, discovering that Holtzmann, far from being a clean-cut yuppie, was actually a professional rat for various federal agencies and may have been slain by one of his targets. Scudder's gumshoeing is dogged but not very excitingâ"lots of phone calls and interviewsâ"and serves mostly to put him in contact with old series regulars and one likely new one, a sympathetic transvestite, as well as with Holtzmann's widow, with whom he starts an affair despite his commitment to longtime girlfriend Elaine: The widow proves as addictive as booze and in fact may drive Scudder back to drink, especially if he keeps indulging in moody midnight gabfests with Irish gangster Mick Ballou and brooding over a WW I poem about breaking faith with those who've died. Meanwhile, in an equally introspective subplot, Scudder's old flame Jan Keane is dying of cancer and asks Scudder to get her a suicide-gun, which he does. Will she choose life, however painful, instead of the bullet's oblivion? Will Scudder resist the bottle and widow and do the same? The murder finally resolves through a quirk of fate: Can Scudder command his own fate? [Readers] will hang on every word as Scudder makes his fascinatingly uncertain way through an increasingly uncertain world. Athena Gassoumis (Author photograph) and Doug Henr (illustrator).
