The Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence Block

4.0

Yep, I will keep on reading these. This is focused, dark, violent detective fiction with ex-cop protagonist Matthew Scudder. He isn't a licensed PI, just someone who does favors for those who are looking for some answers. This storyline was heavily psychological (both a whodunit and a whydunit) --- it almost verged too much into the "pop psychology" realm, but that's something I can forgive from a 1970's novel.

I picked this up hoping for something that would scratch the itch of Richard Stark's Parker novels and Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Criminal series. It does, albeit more on the side of the angels than the devils.
