--"People"
"Vachss's reverence for storytelling is evident in the blunt beauty of his language."
--"Chicago Sun"-"Times"

--Carl Hiaasen
"Vachss is in the first rank of American crime writers."
--"The Plain Dealer"

"The best detective fiction being written . . . Add a stinging social commentary [and] a Celinesque journey into darkness, and we have an Andrew Vachss, one of our most important writers."
--Martha Grimes
"The New York Burke inhabits is not borrowed from anybody and shimmers on the page as gaudily and scarily as it does on the streets."
