| Out on the Cutting Edge
| | Lawrence Block
| He's Mick Ballou, the Butcher Boy, and his bloodstained apron passes for formal dress in Hell's Kitchen. That makes him just part of the scenery for Matt Scudder, hard-drinking hero of Eight Million Ways to Die.
Scudder's off the booze now, trying to stay sober in a city gone mad. In the sacred ginmills and dim church basements of Hell's Kitchen, in the alleys and doorways and subway tunnels where addicts suck on crack pipes and homeless families pitch cramp, he haunts the cold trail of a lost ingenus and finds love and death in all the wrong places. His relentless hunt pays off in a jolting climax that will rattle your teeth, shake you to the soles of your shoes, and take you all the way OUt on the Cutting Edge.
