A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of Lawrence Block is brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well.

In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, andtriumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens -- bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers -- the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants. And in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, there's an unlikely killing machine who is waging a one-man war against them all.

Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate.
