Matthew Scudder is about to face every cop's worst nightmare: James Leo Motley, psychopath extraordinaire.

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.
