An aging investigator in New York City has seen too much and lost too much -- and is ready to leave the darkness behind...

But a nightmare is coming home -- because a brilliant, savage, patient monster has unfinished business in the big city... and a hunger that can be satisfied only by fear and the slow, agonizing death of Matthew Scudder and the woman he loves.
