In his sixteenth Matthew Scudder novel, New York Times bestselling author Lawrence Block takes the award-winning series to a new level of suspense
A man in a Virginia prison awaits execution for three horrific murders he must have committed but swears he didn't . . .
An aging investigator in New York City has seen too much and lost too much — and is ready to leave the darkness behind . . .
But a nightmare is coming home—because a brilliant, savage, patient monster has unfinished business in the big city . . . and a hunger that can be satisfied only by fear and the slow, agonizing death of Matthew Scudder and the woman he loves.
