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. Aka Amazon.
