Recovering alcoholic and former cop Matthew Scudder is no stranger to the seamier aspects of life in New York City. Now a private investigator, he's also becoming very well acquainted with sudden death in the Big Apple—death at its most violent, gruesome, and inexplicable. When the attractive wife of Kenan Khoury, heroin wholesaler to the five boroughs, never returns from a shopping trip, the kidnappers send her husband a terse message: "One million dollars cash, or we will kill your wife." But Khoury haggles over the price—and his wife comes back in pieces. With the help of two computer geniuses, a streetwise punk, and some of the city's top drug lords, Scudder tracks the killers though the lurid back streets of Brooklyn. Matt quickly closes in on them, but his walk among the tombstones could lead him to one with his own name on it.
