Hired by the brother of an heiress to investigate her rape and murder, Scudder tails her husband to a boxing match and notices another man whom he saw on video a few months earlier on a different case involving a snuff film. As Scudder calls on old friends for assistance and tours New York's dark physical and social landscapes, Block masterfully builds the pressure that leads Scudder to the violent resolution in this winner of the 1992 Edgar Award for best mystery novel. 1945245 1991 A Dance At The Slaughterhouse: A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel total:247|5:70|4:109|3:57|2:6|1:5| 247 974 310 15 4 1 false false Fri Dec 05 17:29:44 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 15:09:03 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 17:29:44 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jan 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 23 16:55:17 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 11:17:28 -0800 2009
