Review
"Some of the cleanest, meanest, stripped-down-and-sparkling prose ever penned." -Austin Chronicle
"A beautifully brutal combination of pulpy noir and social commentary. . . . Vachss's writing remains raw and hungry, with an epidermis of rage barely containing an infinite core of sadness." -The Miami Herald "Andrew Vachss could send his hero Burke to Mayberry, and he'd stillmanage to uncover a dark underbelly of sin and corruption." -Capital Times "Gritty, fast-paced . . . One of the most hard-boiled and important crime series ever published." -Huntsville Times
About the Author
Andrew Vachss, an attorney in private practice specializing in juvenile justice and child abuse, is the country's best recognized and most widely sought after spokesperson on crimes against children. He is also a bestselling novelist and short story writer, whose works include Flood (1985), the novel which first introduced Vachss' series character Burke, Strega (1987), Choice of Evil (1999), and Dead and Gone (2000). His short stories have appeared in Esquire, Playboy, and The Observer, and he is a contributor to ABA Journal, Journal of Psychohistory, New England Law Review, The New York Times, and Parade.
Vachss has worked as a federal investigator in sexually transmitted diseases, a caseworker in New York, and a professional organizer. He was the director of an urban migrants re-entry center in Chicago and another for ex-cons in Boston. After managing a maximum-security prison for violent juvenile offenders, he published his first book, a textbook, about the experience. He was also deeply involved in the relief effort in Biafra, now Nigeria. For ten years, Vachss' law practice combined criminal defense with child protection, until, with the success of his novels, it segued exclusively into the latter, which is his passion. Vachss calls the child protective movement "a war," and considers his writing as powerful a weapon as his litigation."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
