Nobody knows better than Matthew Scudder how far down a person can sink in this city. A young prostitute named Kim knew it also--and she wanted out. Maybe Kim didn't deserve the life fate had dealt her. She surely didn't deserve her death. The alcoholic ex-cop turned p.i. was supposed to protect her, but someone slashed her to ribbons on a crumbling New York City waterfront pie...
Nobody knows better than Matthew Scudder how far down a person can sink in this city. A young prostitute named Kim knew it also--and she wanted out. Maybe Kim didn't deserve the life fate had dealt her. She surely didn't deserve her death. The alcoholic ex-cop turned p.i. was supposed to protect her, but someone slashed her to ribbons on a crumbling New York City waterfront pier. Now finding Kim's killer will be Scudder's penance. But there are lethal secrets hiding in the slain hooker's past that are far dirtier than her trade. And there are many ways of dying in this cruel and dangerous town--some quick and brutal ... and some agonizingly slow.

I had more coffee than I needed or wanted during reading. I gave myself a fresh brew whenever Scudder had cups of coffee in Amstrong’s, during AA qualifications, with Jan, or even at Chance’s. Probably I’ll read more of the Matthew Scudder series(展开)

冷硬派推理小说代表作。作者对人物刻画是让人敬佩和赞扬的地方。

颓废且阴冷的气氛，最喜欢的反而是里面的nigger pimp 有原则的男人最迷人

古龙的稿费按行结算，一行一个字或二十五个字，都按一行结账。 金庸的稿费按字数结算，黄蓉郭靖在犄角旮旯的苍蝇馆吃饭，点两道菜，按两道菜名结算，点48道菜，按48道菜名结算。 这本书的男主决定喝不喝咖啡，作者写了150次。

和这本书僵持了半年之久 不属于我喜欢的那一类书 crime的成分远远大于了suspense和thriller 而且crime本身也被弱化了 更多的是这个城市的冷漠冷血肮脏和腐臭在侵蚀生命 虽然一直被迫沉浸在matt的精神世界里但到头来其实很难说真正了解了这个人物的本质 作品前2/3的时间都不在案件本身 最后的破案过程也很anti climactic
