A Ticket to the Boneyard: A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
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.

A call girl warns former cop Matthew Scudder that a homicidal psycho he helped convict is out of jail and seeking revenge. ``The New York settings are superbly authentic, the dialogue is hip . . . and the resolution . . . is hair-raising,'' said PW.

This is as near perfect as a private-eye thriller can get. Block is the utter professional, a master who holds the reader in the palm of his hand for as long as the pages need to be turned. His hero is former cop Matthew Scudder, now coasting as a part-time investigator and faithfully attending AA meetings on the side. A former flame, a savvy call girl, tells him that a psycho who came into her life many years ago (and whom Scudder helped send to jail) is out and seeking revenge on both of them. A friend, a call girl gone straight, is killed along with her whole family in Ohio, and Scudder gets on the case, fighting for his own life and, as the killer's murderous capabilities become apparent, for the lives of everyone he knows. The New York settings are superbly authentic, the dialogue is hip, sometimes touching but never mawkish, and the resolution--after Scudder's old cop buddies decline involvement in what looks too much like a personal vendetta--is hair-raising. Almost anyone writing suspense fiction could learn a great deal from Block; and those in search of sophisticated thrills need look no further. BOMC alternate.
