Yesterday crime novelist Lawrence Block made a startling announcement on his website: Bernie Rhodenbarr is back in another adventure! Here's what he had to say about it …
"A couple of months ago I boarded the MS Veendam in Boston's tea-stained harbor, and five weeks later it returned to port and I disembarked with a book written. I told you that much a while ago, and now I can add what you've already surmised from a glance at the cover. The book's title is The Burglar Who Counted the Spoons, and it's the eleventh volume about Mrs. Rhodenbarr's son Bernie."
Block is self-publishing the title, which will be available on December 25th, 2013. It can be pre-ordered from Amazon. More details, below.

Scott Fitzgerald manuscript, a priceless portrait, and a remarkable array of buttons.
And, wouldn't you know it, there's a dead body, all stretched out on a Trent Barling carpet …
