5/26/2023 0 Comments The sins of the father book![]() In his dour, methodical, oddly empathetic way, Scudder finds out a great deal, altering several lives in the process. ![]() The father of murdered Wendy Hanniford comes to Scudder to try to find out more about his errant daughter-not to find her killer, who was apparently her living partner, a brittle young man who was found in the street raving and covered with her blood and who killed himself shortly after he was arrested. This tale, which introduced the then-hard-drinking ex-cop, is spare and lean and full of dark insights into lonesomeness and anguish. King's admiring introduction is generous but by no means overstated. Block has been getting better and better in recent Matt Scudder novels, but as this first hardcover version of a 16-year-old paperback shows, he was pretty good from the start.
