Praise for Tanner On Ice:
"There is a certain type of mystery--a kind of "let's pretend" adventure beloved by children of all ages. Lawrence Block's first Evan Tanner novel in 25 years pushes the "let's pretend" fantasy to its outer edge. . .Block's inventive wit still delights. . .it is fun." --New York Times Book Review
"In addition to being a mystery master, Lawrence Block is also a clever and generous teacher of writing. . .In Tanner On Ice, Block not only takes one of his most entertaining characters out of deep freeze, but also scrapes the ice crystals off the neglected subgenre of the espionage caper tale. Lawrence Block is a master of ingratiating literate entertainment." --The Washington Post
"Dry wit, strange situations and Tanner's superb grasp of the obvious result in some wonderful moments. Tanner has been asleep for 25 years, but we hope now he stay awake and adventurous." --The Denver Post
"Evan Tanner. . .returns, youthful and hot as ever. Tanner's fans [will be] happy to see him back in action." --Kirkus Reviews« less
