Detective Matt Scudder is on the trail of a killer - but solving the case might be his undoing... Matt Scudder and Jack Ellery were at school together but never exactly friends. Twenty years later, when Scudder was a detective and Jack was standing on the other side of the one-way glass in a police line-up, it was clear their lives had taken very different paths. What they shared, however, was a battle with alcohol. Now Jack is on the ninth step of the AA program and it's time to make amends to the people he's wronged over the years because of his addiction.

This is a Matthew Scudder mystery and MS has always been my favorite LB detective. Don't know how I missed this one as it is an earlier MS than what I have read. But, this has the usual twists and turns and the wonderful tongue in cheek humor throughout of the inimitable Mr. Block. Highly recommended.
