| # 8 Tanner on Ice (©1998) 256 pp. | |
| Mystery Amazon US PB Amazon US HC Amazon Canada PB Amazon Canada HC "Block's sleepless agent has been on ice for over 20 years, literally. He was cryogenically frozen by Scandanavian agents to get him out of the way. Since he can't sleep it does not take him long to get back up to speed, and the super secret agency he did odd jobs for promptly sends him off to Southeast Asia to underhandedly promote the interests of the corporate sponsors that bought the agency out when the government cut it's appropriations. Well maybe the tropical heat will help the chill Tanner can't get out of his bones since the hybernation." - E. Trevanion Jonsson | |

| Mystery Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB "Lawrence Block's The Hitman is a whimsical look at the life and times of a "Hit man's hitman". It's almost a spoof on itself, treating as almost incidental what a hitman does for a living, while it explores his hopes, fears and career worries." - Jeff Kreider - RAM | |

| Mystery Amazon US PB Amazon US HC Amazon Canada PB Amazon Canada HC Reviews Available by: "Here is a master with some of his finest writing. A Matt Scudder who is older, more settled, living a good life and in a stable, satisfying relationship. If this book doesn't have quite the edge of earlier Scudders, it still will enthrall and engage a reader. Scudder realized he attended a concert with people who were murdered that night. With no client, and a closed case, Scudder picks away at his uneasiness until things begin to unravel. This novel is at one with earlier Scudders, except in a couple of interesting ways. Here are multiple viewpoints and this book is much darker than previous books by Block." - Carl Brookins - RAM | ||
