He's not perfect, however; he occasionally makes mistakes....

Like any job, murder for hire has its ups and downs. Keller's assignments do allow him access to all sorts of sporting events--he get to follow baseball when he takes out a philandering player, and to the races when a jockey in a fixed horse race is the target. He even gets to mix his passion for stamp collecting with a hit on a famous philatelist. Wisely, Keller never accepts jobs in his home, New York City. But when a plum job makes him break...

Block is a master of the long-form mystery, and this collection proves he's got the short form locked down as well.

He's the defense attorney who never sees the inside of a courtroom, because all his clients are innocent--no matter how guilty they may seem. Some even believe themselves to be guilty: they remember pulling the trigger, or wiring the dynamite to their spouse's car, or holding the bloody blade. But things have a way of working out when Martin Ehrengraf is on the...
