Reviews
Vachss's fourth street-smart novel featuring an unlicensed, ex-con private eye known as Burke has the shamus trying to rescue an old flame's daughter from a cult in Brooklyn, while coping with the rumor that he has become a gun for hire. "Burke's turf--the sleazy underbelly of New York--springs to life in cinematic scenes," wrote PW.
