Eight Million Ways To Die.

LAWRENCE BLOCK

Publication: Arbor House, 1982, New York

First edition. Signed. Fine in fine dust jacket. 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. Now finding her 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. Along with the many ways of dying in this cruel and dangerous town...some quick and brutal...and some agonizingly slow. Shamus Award winner and Edgar Award nominee.
