    Keller is your basic Urban Lonely Guy. He makes a decent wage, lives in a nice apartment, works the crossword puzzle. Until the phone rings, and he flies halfway across the country…and kills somebody. It's a living, but is it a life?

    You've never met anyone like Keller.

    Keller is a killer. Professional, cool, confident, competent, reliable.

    September 05, 2008: This was my first Lawrence Block book I read. And I must say this Keller guy cracks me up. This assassin is one the most funniest characters I ever read. All due to Block's witty prose. And I tell you, I'm hooked to his stuff. So give it try, it's worth it.

    November 22, 2006: although lawrence block is a suberb writer and the plot is fantastic, he is only short on one thing in this book. the writing is unique and it is a real page turner with suspense and action happening everywhere. the only thing wrong with the book is that the main character, joh keller, isnt developed very well and u somewhat dont really get to know him until you read 'Hit Parade' which is probably his best book out of the three.
