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)

A Walk Among the Tombstones quotes

  • Ray: [on the phone] She couldn't tell me what breed the other dog was. She was young when it died. They had it put to sleep, she said. It's a silly term for it, don't you think? I mean, you're gonna kill something you ought to have the courage to say that's what you're doing. You're not talking. You still there?

    Matt Scudder: I'm here.

    Ray: I gather it was a mongrel. So many of us are.

  • Ray: [negotiating over the phone] You could grab me.

    Matt Scudder: You'll have that knife you keep talking about, a gun, too, if you want one.

    Ray: You'll see my face.

    Matt Scudder: Wear a mask.

    Ray: Cuts the visibility.

    Matt Scudder: I already know what you look like, *Ray*.

    Ray: What do you know?

    Matt Scudder: I know you're a genetic fuck-up, who if I'd met on the street 10 years ago, I'd have thrown you out of a fucking window.
