The Sins of the Fathers
Hooker was young, pretty...and dead, butchered in a Greenwich village apartment. Prime suspect, a minister's son, was also dead, a jailhouse suicide. NYPD closed case, but girl's dad asks ex-cop Matthew Scudder in. The stench of sleaze and perversion soaks sordid phony religion and murderous lust where children die for their parents' secret, unspeakable sins.
