Mick is also a worried man - two of his henchmen have met violent deaths during a raid on one of his bourbon warehouses. It looks very like someone is muscling in on his patch and he wants Scudder on the case. Matt isn't keen - working for your friends can be a tricky business. On his way home he is jumped, but does more damage than he takes. Someone wants him off the job. 

When a friend is shot dead, while Scudder is in the men's room of the restaurant where they're eating dinner, he knows that he was the real target. No matter that he is warned off by his ex-colleagues, and his wife, Elaine, this is one case Scudder is going to see out to the end.
