Lawrence Block鈥檚 17 Matthew Scudder novels have won the hearts of readers throughout the world鈥攁long with a bevy of awards including the Edgar, the Shamus, the Philip Marlowe (Germany), and the Maltese Falcon (Japan). And it鈥檚 MattScudder who鈥檚 been largely reponsible for Block鈥檚 lifetime achievement awards: Grand Master (Mystery Writers of America), The Eye (Private Eye Writers of America), and the Cartier Diamond Dagger (UK Crime Writers Association).
But Scudder has starred in short fiction as well, and it鈥檚 all here, from a pair of late-70s novelettes (Out the Window and A Candle for the Bag Lady) through By the Dawn鈥檚 Early Light (Edgar) and The Merciful Angel of Death (Shamus), all the way to One Last Night at Grogan鈥檚, a moving and elegiac story never before published. It was short fiction that kept the series alive on the several occasions when the flow of novels wass ingterrupted, and short stories that took Scudder down different paths and showed us unmapped portions of his world.
Some of these stories appeared in such magazines as Alfred Hitchcock, Ellery Queen, and Playboy. The title vignette, The Night and the Music, was written for a NYC jazz festival program; another, Mick Ballou Looks at the Blank Screen, has appeared only as the text of a limited-edition broadside. And the final story, putting Matt and Elaine at a table with Mick and Kristin Ballou in a shuttered Hell鈥檚 Kitchen saloon, has its first appearance in this volume.
Several stories look back from the time of their writing, with Scudder recounting events from his former life as a cop, first as a patrolman partnered with the legendary Vince Mahaffey, then as an NYPD detective leading a double life. In Looking for David, Matt and Elaine are on vacation in Florence, where they encounter a man Matt arrested decades earlier; now Matt finally learns the motive behind a brutal homicide.
Along with the eleven stories and novelettes, The Night and The Music includes a list of the seventeen novels in chronological order, and an author鈥檚 note detailing the origin and bibliographical details of each of the stories.
Brian Koppelman, the prominent screenwriter and director (Solitary Man, Ocean鈥檚 Thirteen, Rounders) and a major Matt Scudder fan, has sweetened the pot with an introduction.
