HE WAS EVERY MAN'S DREAM - AND ONE MAN'S NIGHTMARE!Johnny Hayden and Doug Rance had a scheme to take real estate entrepreneur Wallace Gunderman for all he was worth. But they needed a girl on the inside to make it work. Enter Evelyn Stone: Gunderman's secretary, his lover - and his worst enemy. Gunderman had promised to marry her, but never came through. Now she's ready to make him pay.Johnny Hayden has spent a lifetime working the long con, establishing a deceptive front and stinging a mark big-time.
A stretch in prison has made a temporarily honest man out of him, but the prospect of one big score to fund his retirement is too much to resist. Fans of The Sting will appreciate the rich details of this original scheme, where a man who bought worthless Canadian land-"moose pasture"-years ago is now tricked into buying a whole lot more of it. Noir enthusiasts will be absorbed by a swirling plot, with Johnny and Doug and Evelyn caught up in a race nobody can win.
And Hard Case Crime collectors will be able to understand why The Girl with the Long Green Heart has been a key entry ever since HCC was launched. This Classic Crime Library ebook of The Girl with the Long Green Heart contains as a bonus the opening chapter of the next book in the series, The Specialists.

Biographie de Lawrence Block

Lawrence Block has been writing award-winning mystery and suspense fiction for half a century. His newest book, pitched by his Hollywood agent as "James M. Cain on Viagra, " is The Girl with the Deep Blue Eyes. His other recent novels include The Burglar Who Counted The Spoons, featuring Bernie Rhodenbarr; Hit Me, featuring philatelist and assassin Keller; and A Drop Of The Hard Stuff, featuring Matthew Scudder, brilliantly embodied by Liam Neeson in the new film, A Walk Among The Tombstones. Several of his other books have also been filmed, although not terribly well. He's well known for his books for writers, including the classic Telling Lies For Fun & Profit and Write For Your Life, and has just published a collection of his writings about the mystery genre and its practitioners, The Crime Of Our Lives. In addition to prose works, he has written episodic television (Tilt!) And the Wong Kar-wai film, My Blueberry Nights. He is a modest and humble fellow, although you would never guess as much from this biographical note.
