Review:
"The hardest of the hard-boiled private eyes is back... [Only Child is] full of surprises." New York Post
Vachss prose is never less than hypnotic.... He's a master at shedding light on grime and human and urban decay.." Wilmington News Journal
Only Child is reliable Vachss, another page-ripping underground procedural with harsh relevance and prose that qualifies the real-life children s lawyer for his own adjective. (Vachssatious?). The Seattle Times
The plot is perfect, the investigation is compelling, and the payoff is bittersweet but satisfying. The Jacksonville Sun
Vachss style is personal, laconic, shaded and of course, creepy. If you like hard-boiled punk narrative, this is the read for you. Los Angeles Times Book Review
