The basis of the powerful Scott Frank film starring Liam Neeson as Matthew Scudder. The wife of a heroin wholesaler is killed and dismembered after he haggles over the price of her ransom. Who do you call when you can't call the cops?You call Matt Scudder..."Wonderful! Matt Scudder is back, and everyone who relishes a vicarious walk on the rough side should rejoice." ~Tucson Daily Star"Enough pleasures and excitements to keep us smiling and breathing hard all the way through." ~Chicago Tribune"It would be difficult to top the impact of Lawrence Block's last book, A Dance at the Slaughterhouse, but it has been done. A tense plot, expressive writing and unusual and thoroughly real people with desperate problems. Not a book for the weak-hearted!" ~Bookpage"As good as the crime thriller gets." ~San Diego Union-Tribune"The next time that friends come to town expecting a personal tour of the real New York City, here's what to hand them: a subway map, a fistful of tokens, and Lawrence Block's big bruiser of a crime novel, A Walk Among the Tombstones."~Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review
