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.
