Bestselling author and grand master Lawrence Block returns to his
deadliest hitman.
A man named Nicholas Edwards lives in New Orleans renovating houses,
doing honest work and making decent money at it. Between his family and
his stamp collection, all his spare time is happily accounted for.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that he used to kill people for a
living.
But when the nation's economy tanks, taking the construction business
with it, all it takes is one phone call to drag him back into the game.
It may say Nicholas Edwards on his driver's license and credit cards,
but he's back to being the man he always was: Keller.
Keller's work takes him to New York, the former home he hasn't dared
revisit, where his target is the abbot of a midtown monastery. Another
call puts him on a West Indies cruise, with several interesting fellow
passengers -- the government witness, the incandescent young woman
keeping the witness company, and, sharing Keller's cabin, his wife,
Julia. But the high drama comes in Cheyenne, where a recent widow is
looking to sell her husband's stamp collection . . .
In Hit Me, legendary Edgar Grandmaster and New York Times
bestselling author Lawrence Block returns to one of his most beloved
characters. Welcome back, Keller. You've been missed.
