Block, Lawrence Matthew Scudder.

Read by Lawrence Block

After a night out with friends, Matthew Scudder is reminded of an enigmatic case he had while still working as uniformed policeman. The case in question involves the suicide of a devout Catholic man in front of his wife and children … or was it a murder? "After twenty-five years in the business, Matt Scudder still strolls New York's mean streets as if he had personally laid the cobblestones." "One of the very best writers now working the beat. Block has done something new and remarkable with the private-eye novel." "When Lawrence Block is in his Matt Scudder mode, crime fiction can sidle up so close to literature that often there's no degree of difference." "One of the most complex and compelling heroes in modern fiction. Thrillers don't get better than this."
