WHEN THE SACRED GINMILL CLOSES - Lawrence Block


 










The first re-read of a Matt Scudder mystery for about 30 years. Scudder is an ex- New York cop, alcoholic who operates in Hells Kitchen as an unlicensed PI.  Sounds cliché but the writing isn't.

The entire series is very good, well written , great characters and reading these books set me on the path to finally stop drinking.

Worth a read even if you've never touched a drop in your life.

THE SECRET LIFE OF J.EDGAR HOOVER - Anthony Summers

  A man who abused his position like no other public servant in history.  A vile little man.
