From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List):
Nobody knows better than Matthew Scudder how far down a person can sink in this city. A young prostitute named Kin knew it also - and she wanted out. Maybe Kim didn't deserve the life fate had dealt her. She surely didn't deserve her death. The alcoholic ex-cop-turned-p.i. was supposed to protect her, but someone slashed her to ribbons on a crumbling New York City waterfront pier.

Now finding Kim's killer will be Scudder's penance. But there are lethal secrets hiding in the slain hooker's past that are far dirtier than her trade. And there are many ways of dying in this cruel and dangerous town - some quick and brutal ... and some agonizingly slow.

This book is part of the "Matthew Scudder" series.
