"One of the very best writers now working the beat." —Wall Street Journal

"If there is one crime writer currently capable of matching the legacies of 
Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, it's Lawrence Block." —San 
Francisco Chronicle

----

The New York Times bestselling author and master of the modern mystery 
returns with a fierce and poignant new novel featuring his acclaimed 
killer-for-hire, Keller. John Keller is everyone's favorite hit man. He's cool. 
Reliable. A real pro: the hit man's hit man. The inconvenient wife, the 
business partner, the retiree with a substantial legacy. He's taken care of 
them all, quietly and efficiently.

Keller's got a code of honor, though he'd never call it that. And he keeps the 
job strictly business. But while Keller might be a pragmatic and crack assassin, 
he's also prone to doubts and loneliness just like everybody else. And though 
he's got Dot, his wisecracking contact and sometimes confidante, these days, 
it doesn't seem to be enough.

Keller's been at this business a long while. Just maybe it's time to pack it in. 
Only problem is, retirement takes money. And to get money, he's got to go to 
work...

Hit Parade, the third novel featuring the fascinating Keller, displays the 
hallmarks that distinguish Lawrence Block's award-winning fiction: the 
intelligence, the clever plotting, the humor, the tricky twist and ironic turns, 
the darkness and emotional complexity—and, above all else, the humanity.
