The author of dozens of acclaimed novels including those in the Scudder and Keller series, Lawrence Block has long been recognized as one of the premier crime writers of our time. Now, the breathtaking skill, power, and versatility of this Grand Master are brilliantly displayed once again in a mesmerizing new thriller set on the streets of the city he knows and loves so well. </p>
That was the thing about New York -- if you loved it, if it worked for you, it ruined you for anyplace else in the world. </p>
In this dazzlingly constructed novel, Lawrence Block reveals the secret at the heart of the Big Apple. His glorious metropolis is really a small town, filled with men and women from all walks of life whose aspirations, fears, disappointments, and triumphs are interconnected by bonds as unbreakable as they are unseen. Pulsating with the lives of its denizens -- bartenders and hookers, power brokers and politicos, cops and secretaries, editors and dreamers -- the city inspires a passion that is universal yet unique in each of its eight million inhabitants, including: </p>
John Blair Creighton, a writer on the verge of a breakthrough; </p>
Francis Buckram, a charismatic ex–police commissioner -- and the inside choice for the next mayor -- on the verge of a breakdown; </p>
Susan Pomerance, a beautiful, sophisticated folk-art dealer plumbing the depths of her own fierce sexuality; </p>
Maury Winters, a defense attorney who prefers murder trials because there's one less witness; </p>
Jerry Pankow, an ex-addict who has turned being clean into a living, mopping up after New York's nightlife; </p>
And, in the shadows of a city reeling from tragedy, an unlikely killing machine who wages a one-man war against them all. </p>
Infused with the raw cadence, stark beauty, and relentless pace of New York City, Small Town is a tour de force Block fans old and new will celebrate. </p>

評分《小城》读完,已有3个月,零思碎想的,一直不能下笔写点什么。觉得无法写出一篇一以统之的书评,又好像,你在跟一个朋友聊天,他倾诉很久,你静静听,你无法全然认同,又觉纵是自己开口说话也无用,便终是沉默。点上一根烟,眼瞅着木头桌子,看时间一点一点挪过去。 ...
評分 評分9.11老去了。对大多数非美籍人士来说,是这样子的。基地组织还会冒出头为某汽车炸弹负责,美国军队还在穷折腾、声称又生擒或击毙某基地头目。不过,我们早就将这场不是战争的战争视作一种游戏,猫和老鼠。兴许,猫儿只是在追自己的尾巴玩,煞有介事地,假装没人瞧出它怀的什么...
評分作为侦探小说,它并没有很厉害的大案,罪犯简单到会让日本人笑死,而且导读就告诉你谁是凶手了(当时我忍不住在心里暗骂了一句什么白痴写的导读啊)。 但情节却依然引人入胜。每个人都与这案子有关,好像小舞台。每个人都渐渐打开自己,这过程太惊喜。 我也有疯狂一面,也许...
