Mystery writer Lawrence Block will appear at the Book Revue in Huntington on FRIDAY, May 20 at 7 p.m. to speak about and sign his new book A Drop of the Hard Stuff.
A Drop of the Hard Stuff is the 17th novel in the Matthew Scudder series. Scudder is finally on the straight and narrow when he runs into "High-Low" Jack Ellery, a childhood friend from the Bronx. In Scudder, Jack sees the moral man he might have become. In Jack, Scudder sees the hard-won sobriety he hopes to achieve. Then Ellery is shot down while attempting to atone for past sins and Scudder is drawn into a murder investigation that threatens to upset his path toward recovery - and get him killed in the process.
Block is a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America and has won multiple Edgar and Shamus awards. For more information, contact the Book Revue at 631-271-1442.
