Title: GRIFTER'S GAME - A Review
Review: I'm a big Lawrence Block fan, and it was a real treat to sit down and chew into this little book. The writing was so tight, so clean. He doesn't miss a beat. Reading this book is a little like sticking your neck into a fast-moving slipnoose, just as the trapdoor lets go. The ending is unpredictably surprising. It'll hit you like a short right piledriver straight to the solar plexus.The whole series is a breath of fresh air, tainted with cigar smoke, the reek of cordite, and a saxaphone playing softly from the downstairs speakeasy. Definitely check the book out, check the whole darned series out.Steve Vernon
