Publisher's Summary

Battling the bottle one day at a time, ex-cop, sometime PI Matthew Scudder finds that next to staying sober, staying alive seems easy. But in the mean streets of New York City it never is. Not for the prostitute who wanted out and got her beautiful self slashed to ribbons. Not for a pimp named Chance who is betting his life that the broken-down detective can find her murderer. And not for Matthew Scudder - just trying to stay alive in a city that knows nothing better than how to die. Winner of the Shamus Award!

How Scudder crossed the rough border to sobriety

I liked the book. I think it's one of Lawrence Block's best, though the writer himself isn't the best of narrators.. I got used to it though. I like his style. To me, it's the style of an author who has grown up, and writes grown up material.
