Reviews"Vachss is in the first rank of American crime writers."- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Deliciously scummy... His bad guys are memorably heinous."- Washington Post Book World "[Vachss's] short sharp sentences crackle with energy; his plots are satisfyingly elaborate; the narratives are beautifully paced, and the characters... are always pungently individual."- Chicago-Sun Times "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."- Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "Vachss is in the first rank of American crime writers."- Cleveland Plain Dealer "Deliciously scummy...

SynopsisAndrew Vachss has reinvented detective fiction for an age in which guilty secrets are obsolete and murderisn't even worth a news headline. And in the person of his haunted, hell-ridden private eye Burke, Vachss has given us anew kind of hero- a man inured to every evil except the kind that preys on children. Now Burke is back, investigating an epidemic of apparent suicides among teenagers of a wealthy Connecticut suburb. There he discovers a sinister connection between the anguish of the young and the activities of an elite sadomasochistic underground, for whom pan and its accompanying rituals are a source of pleasure-and power, Andrew Vachss has reinvented detective fiction for an age in which guilty secrets are obsolete and murder isn't even worth a news headline.
