Am Rand des Abgrunds (Matthew Scudder)

His depiction of the detective's mindset feels so authentic — I wonder what research or personal experiences influenced that portrayal.

The characters often operate in gray areas, which made me question what I’d do in their situation. How do others interpret the boundaries of justice here?

There were moments where the story slowed down for introspection, but it still maintained suspense. Was that balance intentional or just a natural flow?
