The Matthew Scudder Series - Book 8
A Ticket to the Boneyard
“The murders are as savage as they come, their horrific nature intensified by the clarity of Mr. Block’s pristine prose…Block has a fine nose for the pungencies of New York’s after-dark street life, and he gives his hero wonderful opportunities to swap syllables with the city’s most articulate riffraff.”
New York Times
Matthew Scudder is about to face every cop's worst nightmare: James Leo Motley, psychopath extraordinaire.
Twelve years ago Matthew Scudder lied to a jury to put James Leo Motley behind bars. Now the ingenious psychopath is free, and the alcoholic ex-cop turned private investigator must pay dearly for his sins. Friends and former lovers-even strangers unfortunate enough to share Scudder's name-are turning up dead because a vengeful maniac is determined not to rest until he's driven his nemesis back to the bottle … and then to the boneyard.
