Reviews"The characters and events are as sharply defined as if they were etched in steel. The prose is short and choppy, like the ticking of a time bomb about to explode." -Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Torrid, gritty, frightening, compelling." -The Cleveland Plain Dealer "Burke fills a void.... With his soiled white hat, this Lone Ranger...asks difficult questions while shining light into the darkest recesses." -Chicago Tribune "There's no way to put a [Vachss book] down once you've begun.... The plot hooks are engaging and the one-liners pierce like bullets." -Detroit Free Press From the Trade Paperback edition.
