The relentless detective Matthew Scudder believes him and, at the behest of the victim's family, searches for a vicious murderer who's either long gone, long dead … or patiently waiting to kill again.

About Scudder: Matt Scudder -- ex-cop, unlicensed private eye, sober alcoholic -- is an unusual hero.
