Sometimes They Bite
An unwelcome visitor shares terrifying secrets with a stranger at an isolated fishing hole. Two men concoct a convoluted Hitchcockian murder plot... only to discover death is far more gruesome and permanent than it appears on-screen. An aspiring assassin has a close encounter with his idol. Lawrence Block is at his sinister best in eighteen tales of drifters, grifters, and sweet revenge that are darkly comic, chillingly clever, and sharp as a razor edge.
Sometimes they bite
The Ehrengraf defense
Strangers on a handball court
Like a dog in the street
A bad night for burglars
Nothing short of highway robbery
One thousand dollars a word
The gentle way
The Ehrengraf obligation
When this man dies
Collecting Ackermans
The Dettweiler solution
Funny you should ask
Like a thief in the night
Going through the motions
This crazy business of ours
And miles to go before I sleep
Out the window.
