Review
"Andrew Vachss is a great writer, not just because he writes fine novels with a sharp, original, and gripping prose style but also for the undisputed fact that he is a true warrior for the protection of children. His books never graphically display abuse, never wallow in it, but they always force us to look at the results of that abuse, how it changes, demoralizes, and destroys the innocent.
"Long may this man write. Long may he protect children. He is one of a few who can lay legitimate claim to having changed laws and ways of thinking about child abuse, a real hero who has shone a harsh light on the cockroaches who scuttle about in the dark. His 'fiction' is more than kick-ass entertainment; it has, literally, changed the world for the better."
--Joe R. Lansdale, author of "Sunset and Sawdust"
"From the Hardcover edition."
"Illuminates both the darkest excesses of criminality and, in counterpoint, the slack-jawed solipsism of the law-abiding." Time Out Chicago Vachss's prose is as taut and streetwise as ever, drawing his readers again into an evil underworld that is at once impossible to look away from and horrible to behold." Associated Press"Burke is the hardest, most twisted man in crime and thriller fiction." Contra Costa Times Transcends the crime novel even further. . . . Like a lecture from the smartest raconteur you never want to meet. The Seattle Times"
