Review:

"A grim, skillful urban mystery...Matthew Scudder has evolved into the perfect noir hero...It should only add to the reputation of Block's series and its smart, sorrowful protagonist". -- Entertainment Weekly

"Block and Scudder never set a foot wrong on New York's cracked, grimy sidewalks."--"Detroit News"Shocking ... darkly entertaining ... This one has more voltage than most."--"The New York Times Book Review"Outstanding ... a smoothly paced, deftly plotted, brightly phrased study of perversity and coincidence with many twists and no straight arrows."--"Chicago Tribune
