All the flowers are dying

About “All the flowers are dying”

In his sixteenth Matthew Scudder novel, Lawrence Block puts Scudder at the very edge of the abyss, confronting mortality and an icily inhuman adversary. A man in a Virginia prison awaits execution for murders he swears he did not commit, while a psychologist who claims to believe him returns to New York, and Scudder investigates a seemingly simple case that turns deadly as victims draw closer to home.
