Hit Man - Lawrence Block [110]
Grateful acknowledgment is also due to those publications in which some of Keller’s adventures appeared in a slightly different form: Murder on the Run, a collection of stories by members of the Adams Round Table; Murder Is My Business, an anthology edited by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins; and, of course, Playboy.

HIT MAN
“PAGE-TURNER OF THE WEEK. . .
Macabre charm. . . In what amounts to a series
of interlocking short stories with more plot twists
than the current White House imbroglio,
Keller proves the perfect observer of life—
clear-eyed, ironic and always dead-on.”
People
“A collection of stories that reads like the flowing
memoir of a man who is letting it all out for
the first time. . . The ironic tone and confessional
content make these intimate tales so funny and
full of rue . . . [Keller] may have no ethics,
but he definitely has a way about him.”
The New York Times Book Review
“A brilliant writer . . . superb entertainment.”
Booklist
“Block’s ravenous fans [will be]
delighted to see at least three masterpieces
gathered in one volume.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Block, one of the genre’s finest practitioners,
is in fine form here. Anyone looking
for a disturbing detour from the mainstream
will want to pick up Hit Man.”
Chicago Tribune
