Lawrence Block's view of New York in the 70's is fascinating and authentic. His characters, settings and plots broke new ground when they were written and are just as vital today. Matthew Scudder is a wonderfully complex hero, and this book, which introduces Matt to Jan Keane, laid the groundwork for all the changes in Matt's life in books to come.
