“It takes the steady hand of a cool pro like Lawrence Block to monitor the erratic pulse beat of New York City without faking it…Mr. Block has the offhand grace to make it look easy, with his sharply focused vignettes of the human transactions that go down in the city and with his quick life studies of the transvestite hookers, teen-age hustlers, and insulated professionals who share this hard turf and call it home.”
New York Times
In New York City, there is little sense and no rules, and those who fly the highest often come crashing down the hardest.
A deranged, derelict, crazed Vietnam vet has been arrested for gunning down successful young lawyer Glenn Holtzmann at a corner phone booth on Eleventh Avenue-and the suspect's brother wants unlicensed private investigator Matthew Scudder to prove the madman innocent. But Scudder's curiosity and dedication are leading him to dark, unexplored places in his own heart … and to passions and secrets that could destroy everything he loves.
In this unmerciful metropolis, no one is truly innocent-including Matthew Scudder.
