Dance at the Slaughterhouse 
A Matthew Scudder Crime Novel

A successful socialite’s beautiful wife was raped and murdered in her own home – and Matt Scudder believes the victim’s "grieving" husband was responsible for the outrage. But to prove it, the haunted p.i. must descend into the depths of New York’s sex-for-sale underworld, where young lives are commodities to be bought, perverted…and destroyed.
