Here’s Chip Harrison—the second series character created by Lawrence Block, bestselling author of A Walk among the Tombstones …
Chip’s debut in No Score opens with the lad orphaned and cast adrift by the loathsome headmaster of his prep school. Thus unfolds a picaresque tale in which young Chip travels far and wide, determined to make his way in the world and somehow shrug off the awful cloak of virginity. This earnest and endearing Lecher in the Wry finds work as an assistant to Gregor the Pavement Photographer (whose wife keeps him forever on Third Base, and won’t let him steal home) and employment as a Termite Salesman. He falls in and out of love, and, well, you’ll see.

"This book was sort of what Catcher in the Rye would have been if it (Catcher) had been a book I would like."
— Andrew (4 out of 5 stars)
" 3.5 stars. First in the Chip Harrison series from Block, probably the least well known recurring character that Block has written about, as it was earlier in his career, and consisted of four books written between 1970 and 1975. "
— Glenn, 7/17/2013" I didn't like how the narrator would jump in with off the wall crap. But the sex/non sex was pretty good. "
— Susie, 7/15/2013" o Lawerence. A teenaged boy fantasy (but fantasy only I think). No mystery here. "
