Summary
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 11th 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.

Matt Scutter and Travis McGee two of the best
Once again Block has managed to add even more to an already great character.
I have not enjoyed observing the development of a character throughout a series this much since John D. MacDonalds Travis McGee.
I had read the odd Matt Scutter book here and there, over the last few decades. but it wasn't until Audible Plus made the majority of the series available that I sat down and listened to the series in order and boy am I glad I did.
I'm not saying that I agree with all the decisions that Matt has Made throughout the series but I understand them and really appreciate the way that the decisions he made in earlier books effect the decisions and actions he takes in the later ones. this is something I noticed years ago in the Travis McGee series and the reason he is still my favourite literary character. and with this book, now Matt Scudder is running a close 2nd.
Please, if you have the chance, listen to the series in order. I think you will enjoy it as much as I do. and if so you might want to check out McGee.

Good but not great
Probably the weakest so far of the Scudder novels. The story meanders along to a end with a wimper and an unsatisfactory conclusion. The main character Matt in other stories although flawed has redeeming qualities but here he finishes the book quite an unlikeable and unpleasant man, shame really. Brilliant narrator as usual.

full to the brim with wonderful words & how they are used
scudder drives me mad - with his weakness for women...but I also love him
story wound around...in the manner of Block wonderful writing different & worth it
