“Adoro la serie di Matthew Scudder, e adoro queste storie brevi.”--Otto Penzler, Los Angeles Times, I dieci libri più amati del 2011

Am Rand des Abgrunds ist der siebte Roman mit Lawrence Blocks fesselndster Figur, Matthew Scudder.

In seinem vierten Abenteuer nimmt sich Matthew Scudder – nun in deutscher Neuübersetzung – eines ungelösten Falles an, mit dem er schon Jahre früher als Detective beim NYPD befasst war.
