A Ticket to the Boneyard

Lawrence Block: A Ticket to the Boneyard (USA 1990)

From the Publisher:
Lawrence Block's career in crime fiction has been full of triumphs. Three of his mysteries have been turned into movies, and several stories have been dramatized on TV shows like Alfred Hitchcock Presents. He is the winner of an Edgar Award, a Shamus Award, the Nero Wolfe Award, and the Maltese Falcon Award. Numerous short stories and articles have been published in Redbook, Playboy, Penthouse, Cosmopolitan, The New York Times, and American Heritage.

But of all his many accomplishments, none is more admired by critics and readers than his novels featuring detective Matt Scudder. A Ticket to the Boneyard is the best of the Scudder books to date, combining Block's evocative style and atmosphere with nail-biting suspense - and introducing a terrifyingly unforgettable villain to rival Thomas Harris's Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

Scudder, an ex-cop and recovering alcoholic, has finally gotten his life in order - until trouble arrives in the hulking shape of an old enemy who is addicted to revenge as Scudder once craved booze. James Leo Motley is a powerful, psychotic killer who has vowed to destroy Scudder and "all his women." Divorced and alone, Scudder doesn't really have any women, except maybe a high-priced call girl named Elaine, but that doesn't stop Motley from murdering, one by one, any woman remotely connected to Scudder, including friends, acquaintances, old lovers, and perfect strangers. And Scudder himself is the last name on the hit list. Unless he can stop Motley's bloody, homicidal crusade, Scudder's guilt and fear may be enough to drive him back to the bottle... or straight to the boneyard.

A Ticket to the Boneyard is a gutsy, gritty thriller that will rattle the nerves of both longtime Scudder fans and all new readers. In this gripping, cat-and-mouse confrontation between a down-and-out detective and a relentless, obsessive killing machine, Lawrence Block has done the impossible: He has topped himself.

Lawrence Block: A Ticket to the Boneyard. William Morrow, ISBN: 0688090702 (September, 1990), 302 p., $18.95.
