description: Nine years have passed since the killer last struck: eight helpless young women were slaughtered with an ice-pick. Now ex-cop Matthew Scudder has been hired to bring the slayer to justice. Scudder sets out on a bloody trail of death almost a decade cold, searching for a psycho who's either long gone, long dead, or patiently waiting to kill again...
