Grifter’s Game

Con man Joe Berlin was used to scoring easy cash off of gullible women. But that was before he met Mona Brassard – and found himself holding a stolen stash of raw heroin. Now that Joe has fallen hard for Mona, he’s got to pull off the most dangerous con of his career: one that will leave him either a killer – or a corpse. Block’s debut novel under his own name is a classic example of prime pulp fiction, with an ending that will astonish even the most jaded crime-fiction fan. ©1961 Lawrence Block (P)2009 BBC Audio
