Hit and Run

Keller's a hit man. For years now he's had places to go and people to kill.

But enough is enough. He's got money in the bank and just one last job standing between him and retirement. So he carries it out with his usual professionalism, and he heads home, and guess what?

One more job. Paid in advance, so what's he going to do? Give the money back?In Des Moines, Keller stalks his designated target and waits for the client to give him the go-ahead. And one fine morning he's picking out stamps for his collection (Sweden 1-5, the official reprints) at a shop in Urbandale when somebody guns down the charismatic governor of Ohio.

Back at his motel, Keller's watching TV when they show the killer's face. And there's something all too familiar about that face. . . .

Keller calls his associate Dot in White Plains, but there is no answer. He's stranded halfway across the country, every cop in America's just seen his picture, his ID and credit cards are no longer good, and he just spent almost all of his cash on the stamps.

Now what?

Editorial Reviews

New York Sun

The wry observations throughout, uttered by Keller as well as the other two main characters, will keep you smiling until your cheeks hurt.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

[An] engrossing thriller

Florida Times-Union

Against all odds, Block will have you rooting for the professional killer.

Charlotte Observer

As entertaining as we’ve come to expect from Block’s books.

Deseret News

Crazy, good fun, crafted by an experienced mystery writer who should never put down his pen.

Boston Herald

A knockout. . . . Block delivers a one-two punch of humor and introspection.

San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle

An odd and appealing combination of the hard-boiled, the surreal and the whimsical. Keller grows on us.

Tampa Tribune

Lawrence Block’s crime fiction stands out because of his ability to create interesting and likeable characters....[Hit and Run] is no exception.

San Francisco Chronicle

If there is one crime writer currently capable of matching the noirish legacies of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, it’s Lawrence Block.

Philadelphia Inquirer

With Lawrence Block, one of the most prolific mystery writers alive, it’s always been plotting, and a clever ear for dialogue, that illuminates the inner regions of his characters’ souls.

Chicago Sun-Times

One of the best novels of the summer season. Block remains a true master of the crime genre.
