Book Description:
A successful socialite's beautiful wife was raped and murdered in her own home -- and Matt Scudder believes the victim's "grieving" husband was responsible for the outrage. But to prove it, the haunted p.i. must descend into the depths of New York's sex-for-sale underworld, where young lives are commodities to be bought, perverted... and destroyed.

Excellent book, I couldn't put it down. Not for the squeamish though.
The police can't prove that socialite Richard Thurman arranged the rape, torture, and murder of his beautiful, pregnant wife. The dead woman's brother thinks Matthew Scudder can.
Well written, but Block seems to be a "man's" author. Men who've read this detective series (Matt Scudder) really enjoy it. (This is based on two men.) Women (myself and one other) find the character's private life too depressing to really enjoy the series. If you do not find depressing the saga of a hard-drinking divorced man living alone in a hotel room with no family and no close friends, then you'll enjoy every book in the Scudder series. Plots are tight and prose is fast paced. The earlier books in the series are a little dated, but still enjoyable.
