{"product_id":"9780061030963","title":"All the Flowers Are Dying (Matthew Scudder Series #16)","description":"In his sixteenth Matthew Scudder novel, \u003cb\u003eAll the Flowers Are Dying\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Lawrence Block takes the award-winning series to a new level of suspense and a new depth of characterization. Building on the critical and commercial success of \u003cb\u003eHope to Die,\u003c\/b\u003e Block puts Scudder -- and the reader -- at the very edge of the abyss.\u003cp\u003e  Scudder, a complex character who has grown and aged in real time, confronts the implacable challenge of mortality. But he must also tackle a determined, relentless, and icily inhuman adversary, perhaps the most unforgettable villain Block has ever created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  A man in a Virginia prison awaits execution for three hideous murders he swears, in the face of irrefutable evidence, he did not commit. A psychologist who claims to believe the convict spends hours with the man in his death row cell, and ultimately watches in the gallery as the lethal injection is administered. His work completed, the psychologist heads back to New York City to attend to unfinished business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Meanwhile, Scudder has just agreed to investigate the ostensibly suspicious online lover of an acquaintance. It seems simple enough. At first. But when people start dying and the victims are increasingly closer to home, it becomes clear that a vicious killer is at work. And the final targets may be Matt and Elaine Scudder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The suspense is breathtaking, the outcome never certain. A series that has garnered no end of awards -- the Edgar, the Shamus, the Philip Marlowe, the MalteseFalcon -- has ascended to a dizzying new height. With this novel, Lawrence Block, who recently received the Diamond Dagger for lifetime achievement from the Crime Writers Association of the United Kingdom, is at the very top of his form.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A Mystery Writers of America Grand Master, Lawrence Block is a four-time winner of the Edgar Allan Poe and Shamus Awards, as well as a recipient of prizes in France, Germany, and Japan.
