Sometimes They BiteA New York Times Bestselling AuthorAn unwelcome visitor shares terrifying secrets with a stranger at an isolated fishing hole.

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. |
