When Scudder's childhood friend Jack Ellery is murdered, presumably while attempting to atone for past sins, Scudder reluctantly begins his own investigation, with just one lead: Ellery's Alcoholics Anonymous list of people he wronged. One of them may be a killer, but that's not necessarily Scudder's greatest danger. Immersing himself in Ellery's world may lead him right back to the bar stool. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a novel widely celebrated by critics and readers, Lawrence Block circle back to how it all began, reestablishing the Matthew Scudder series as one of the pinnacles of American detective fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Right up there with Mr. Block's best . . . \u003ci\u003eA Drop of Hard Stuff\u003c\/i\u003e keeps us guessing.\" -- Tom Nolan, \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mulholland Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316127318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Lawrence Block","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636010119324,"sku":"9780316127318","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e5438e29-9d92-45a7-b079-cf83a93a97cb.jpg?v=1603841116","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-drop-of-the-hard-stuff-9780316127318","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
