Lawrence Block: Lucky at Cards (2016) From the Publisher: When Lawrence Block wrote Lucky at Cards back in the 1960s, he published it under a pen name as a paperback original. Years later Hard Case Crime brought it back to life under Block's own name, and now we're able to include it in the Classic Crime Library. "The plot twists here, then there, then back again, rooted in Block's strong characters and no-nonsense prose style," Publishers Weekly enthused, while Bill Ott in Booklist adds, "It's a doozy. Block unwinds his plot superbly, pointing toward a classic noir finale but then seeming to pull away -- or maybe not. And, along the way, there is all the teasing sexuality and tongue-in-cheek noir style that a pulp devotee craves." This Classic Crime Library ebook edition of Lucky at Cards includes as a bonus the first chapter of the next book in the series, Killing Castro. Lawrence Block: Lucky at Cards. LB Productions (The Classic Crime Library), ISBN: 9781524272449 (January, 2016), eBook, 1096 KB (ca. 224 p.), $2.99, £1.99.
