One of the most complex and compelling heroes in modern fiction. Thrillers don't get better than this., After twenty-five years in the business, Matt Scudder still strolls New York's mean streets as if he had personally laid the cobblestones., One of the very best writers now working the beat. Block has done something new and remarkable with the private-eye novel., The Night and the Music is a collectionof all the short stories about Matthew Scudder. Within there is a history ofthe detective many have followed over the years. The stories explore Scudder aswell as other well-known characters and frame the entire life of the famousdetective from his time on the force to what looks like retirement. The storiesalso all have a strong sense of place, as the author celebrates the good andbad of New York...In total, the stories could serve as either a companion to the books, if you'veread them, or an introduction to the characters if you have not...Also includedin the book is a touching introduction from Brian Koppleman where he discussesthe impact the books had on him as a young man and what the characters mean tohim now. It also includes a revealing author's note that shines as a story ofits own. This is a marvelous collection for fans of Scudder and for those whohave never read those riveting books., "Themajority of these shorts are reprints, but "Mick Ballou Looks at the BlankScreen" and "One Last Night at Grogan's" are new to this volume and bringScudder's story up-to-date. Block mixes traditional procedural whodunits withmore contemplative and anecdotal character-driven pieces. In the newerwritings, Scudder is older, wiser, married (again), off the booze, and lookingat life through more experienced eyes. Couched within the action arecommentaries about the then looming AIDS crisis and the lingering problem ofthe homeless in New York, so there's a conscience at work. Verdict: A quicker, more enjoyable read you won't find.Veteran Scudder fans will rejoice at sharing his adventures again. May Block--andScudder--never retire.", When Lawrence Block is in his Matt Scudder mode, crime fiction can sidle up so close to literature that often there's no degree of difference.

Synopsis
Lawrence Block's 17 Matthew Scudder novels have won the hearts of readers throughout the world--along with a bevy of awards including the Edgar, the Shamus, the Philip Marlowe (Germany), and the Maltese Falcon (Japan). But Scudder has starred in short fiction as well, and it's all here, from a pair of late-'70s novelettes ( Out the Window and A Candle for the Bag Lady ) through By the Dawn's Early Light (Edgar) and The Merciful Angel of Death (Shamus), all the way to One Last Night at Grogan's , a moving and elegiac story never before published. Some of these stories appeared in such magazines as Alfred Hitchcock, Ellery Queen , and Playboy . The title vignette, The Night and the Music , was written for a NYC jazz festival program; another, Mick Ballou Looks at the Blank Screen , has appeared only as the text of a limited-edition broadside. Several stories look back from the time of their writing, with Scudder recounting events from his former life as a cop, first as a patrolman partnered with the legendary Vince Mahaffey, then as an NYPD detective leading a double life. Along with these eleven stories and novelettes, The Night and The Music includes a list of the seventeen novels in chronological order, and an author's note detailing the origin and bibliographical details of each of the stories. Brian Koppelman, the prominent screenwriter and director ( Solitary Man, Ocean's Thirteen, Rounders ) and a major Matt Scudder fan, has sweetened the pot with an introduction., Lawrence Block's 17 Matthew Scudder novels have won the hearts of readers throughout the world--along with a bevy of awards including the Edgar, the Shamus, the Philip Marlowe (Germany), and the Maltese Falcon (Japan).
