Two Way Toll — Zachary Klein

Matt Jacob is one of the most original and compelling characters in crime fiction, and he returns In Two Way Toll, Zachary Klein's follow up to Still Among the Living, a New York Times Notable book. Before Matt Jacob became a private detective, he was a social worker in The End--home to Boston's hopeless and helpless. When a ragged figure from his past shows up, Matt winds up back in the Combat Zone--but this time, his chances of getting out again are much slimmer. Now Matt faces demons from his past as well as a psychopath bent on killing him when he investigates two ominously similar deaths occurring twenty years apart. Matt disturbs more than one ghost as he spirals down a path of drugs, sex, and violence into the mysteries of his own past.
