Lawrence Block: The Triumph of Evil (USA 2016) From the Publisher: He's recruited for a series of assassinations designed to render his adopted country vulnerable to a political coup. Instead of the elaborate web that's the staple of conspiracy theorists, he's one man, working alone. He's also a man falling in love, and with a woman a generation too young for him. "We're the same age, Miles," she insists. "I've known you for exactly as long as you've known me." Of course he likes the sound of that, but he knows better than to believe it. Just as he knows better than to believe that their love affair -- or anything else in his life -- has a real chance of working out. But what can he do? Is Dorn part of the solution -- or a principal part of the problem? The Triumph of Evil is a powerful evocation of perilous time in America's recent past. It's a thriller on a human scale, and you'll be stunned by its plausibility and gripped by its suspense.
