Some hours later, their daughter Kristin arrives home to discover her parents killed and the house ransacked. She also finds she is now a very young millionaire. A few days later the police trace the two killers to an apartment in Coney Island and both are dead. So that's that. But for Matt Scudder it's only the beginning."@en
  • "Byrne and Susan Hollander are wealthy patrons of the arts. One night, they are murdered by robbers. Days later, the bodies of the thieves are discovered in a seedy Brooklyn apartment. They are surrounded by the stolen loot and have been shot in an apparent murder-suicide. Case closed? Not for Scudder."@en

  • "Private investigator Matthew Scudder senses an open-and-shut murder case is not as simple as it appears. He believes there was a third party manipulating his accomplices, who then did away with them when they were no longer needed. Only Scudder believes in this third killer and he must find him before he kills again."

  • "When Byrne and Susan Hollander are killed in a brutal home invasion, the whole city catches its collective breath. A few days later the killers turn up dead behind a locked door in Brooklyn. One has killed his partner, then himself. The city sighs with relief. The cops close the case. Matt and Elaine Scudder were in the same room with the Hollanders hours before their deaths. In spite of himself, Scudder is drawn to the Hollander case. The closer he looks, the more he senses the presence of a third man, a puppet master who manipulated his two accomplices, then cut their strings when he was done with them."@en
