Publisher Notes
A vigilante serial killer, named "the Will of the People", is prowling New York, ruthlessly executing evil-doers whom he feels deserve to die. His m.o. is to alert the media before he strikes. So far, his victims have included a child molester, a Mafia don, a violent anti-abortionist, and a racial hate monger. But when "Will" targets a noted lawyer, Matthew Scudder is called upon to stop a frighteningly efficient killer who can do the seemingly impossible.
Media Reviews
"An ingenious whodunit that's also, in Block's recent manner, a provoking meditation on mortality--with a particularly strong supporting role for the City of New York, which turns in its finest performance since Ellery Queen's `Cat of Many Tails'."
