In the midst of death

"Jerry Broadfield has made enemies of his fellow police officers by squealing to a committee on police corruption. Charged with extortion, Jerry also finds a dead hooker in his apartment. Matthew Scudder steps in to prove that Jerry's been framed."
""Bad cop Jerry Broadfield didn't make any friends on the force when he volunteered to squeal to an ambitious D.A. about police corruption. Now he's accused of murdering a call girl. Matthew Scudder doesn't think Broadfield's a killer, but the cops aren't about to help the unlicensed P.I. prove it -- and they may do a lot worse than just get in his way"--Container."@en
