The works of Lawrence, the first person in contemporary European and American mystery novels

"Walking Through the Shadow of Death" is his 1992 cold and dark mystery novel. At the time, it was a very good theme, kidnapping and murdering, gay, dismemberment, all kinds of curiosity, showing the darkness of New York and the distortion of human nature. However, I actually don't fully understand mystery novels, and they are not the kind that belong to the research party. There are many techniques and interpretations of human nature in contemporary American dramas, many of which come from the masterpieces of their predecessors. I still have a high opinion of this movie.
However, in movies, American dramas, animations and other works that are more curious than this movie, I feel that it is still a bit mediocre. (Please don't spray me, I know that the purpose of the movie is not to show the picture, it may be that there are a lot of curiosity)

  • [first lines]

    Danny Ortiz: You need some help, man.

    Matt Scudder: Oh, God.

    Danny Ortiz: I don't care. You want to mess up your own shit - but you're going to mess up mine, too. I need to know you got my back. Not that you're going to come falling through the door behind me...

    Matt Scudder: Don't worry your pretty little spic head off.

    Danny Ortiz: Anyway. That was all I wanted to say.

    Matt Scudder: Is that it? Fuck you!

  • Kenny Kristo: You used to be a cop, right?

    Matt Scudder: Yeah, I was with the 6th Precinct in the Village for a while. And before that, I was over here with the 75th.

    Kenny Kristo: So why'd you quit?

    Matt Scudder: I didn't like the hours, Mr. Kristo.

    Kenny Kristo: Nah, the corruption got to you, huh?

    Matt Scudder: Not really. It would have been hard to support my family without it.
