Reviews

“One of the best in Block’s 10-book ‘Burglar’ series. . . . Worthy of the best of Miss Marple or Charlie Chan.” - People

“Block not only has what it takes, he also has Bernie, whose elastic ethics and pride in his work (It is, I blush to admit, a gift,” he says of his skills) are the key to his raffish charm.” - New York Times Book Review
