Before Lawrence Block was the author of bestselling novels featuring unforgettable characters such as hit man Keller, private investigator Matthew Scudder, burglar Bernie Rhodenbarr, and time traveler Evan Tanner, he was a walker. As a child he walked home from school, as a college student he walked until he was able to buy his first car, and, as an adult, he ran marathons until he discovered the sport of racewalking.

Through the lens of his walking adventures--in 24-hour races, on a pilgrimage through Spain, and just about everywhere you can imagine--Block shares his heartwarming personal story about life's trials and tribulations, discomforts and successes, that truly lets readers walk a mile in the master of mystery's shoes.

Review:
"Block has never been better." -- New York Daily News

"[Block] ratches up the suspense with breathtaking results as only a skilled, inventive and talented writer can do." -- Orlando Sentinel

"A funny, compulsively readable, surprisingly philosophical travelogue thriller." -- Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine

"A materpiece...stunning work that draws on all his powers as a storyteller and chronicler of the darker side of the human psyche." -- Mystery Ink

"Ambitious and intense...A compelling and memorable novel." -- San Francisco Chronicle

"Block and Scudder never set a foot wrong on New York's cracked, grimy sidewalks." -- Detroit News

"[A] must-read...the dialogue [is] so finely crafted and the plot is so twisted that one sitting is all it takes on this book.....Bernie and Carolyn will leave ou wanting more." -- Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

"Block treats both his unlikely hero's initial flight and his attempt to establish a new identity in such painstaking detail that they become riveting....From the first, Keller assumes this hit will be his last case. Readers can only hope it isn't so." -- Kirkus Reviews

"[A] mesmerizing tale of psychological suspense." -- Library Journal

"A cat-and-mouse game between Scudder and the man whose edge is a very sharp cutting blade. And Block plots the game flawlessly." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
