Lawrence Block: Out on the Cutting Edge (USA 1989) From the Publisher: He's Mick Ballou, the Butcher Boy, and his bloodstained apron passes for formal dress in Hells Kitchen. That makes him just part of the scenery for Matt Scudder, hard-drinking hero of Eight Million Ways to Die. Scudder's off the booze now, trying to stay sober, in a city gone mad. In the sacred gin-mills and dim church basements of Hell's kitchen, in the alleys and doorways and subway tunnels where addicts suck on crack pipes and homeless families pitch camp, he haunts the cold trail of a lost ingenue and finds love and death in all the wrong places. His relentles hunt pays off in a jolting climax that will rattle your teeth, shake you to the soles of you shoes and take you all the way Out on the Cutting Edge. Lawrence Block's crime novels have won him a wide readership and many awards, including the Edgar, the Nero and the Shamus. Films based on his books include Burglar (starring Whoopi Goldberg) and Eight Million Ways to Die (with Jeff Bridges as Matthew Scudder). He is a member of the International Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association and the International Association for the Study of Organized Crime. Like Scudder, he has spent most of his life in New York, chiefly in the Sixth Precinct and Midtown North. Lawrence Block: Out on the Cutting Edge. William Morrow, ISBN: 0688090699 (October, 1989), 260 p., $17.95.
