Reviews"Combines [Vachss's] trademark black humor with his longstanding concern for children and their well-being. . . . A smart, cynical glimpse into the human condition." - Kirkus Reviews "Crafty, strong-willed Esau combines courtly manners, deadly paybacks, and ruthless singularity of purpose in this chilling tour de force." - Publishers Weekly "Born of a supremely abusive father and his own sister, Esau Till is trouble from day one - a hired killer who ends up on death row. This book unfolds as Esau's effort to tell his life story in a bid to protect Tory after his own death. Vachss writes raw, eye-opening works that deserve our attention." -Library Journal PRAISE FOR ANDREW VACHSS: "Many writers try to cover the same ground as Vachss. A handful are as good. None are better." - People "Writing in a style so sleekly engineered that it purrs when you pop the hood, Vachss gives us such a smooth ride that it's easy to forget someone is driving this thing." - The New York Times Book Review "Vachss's stories . . . burn with righteous rage and transfer a degree of that rage to the reader." - The Washington Post Book World "A contemporary master . . . Decidedly hard-boiled, his prose is lean, tough-edged, and brittle." - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Vachss's tough-guy writing style grabs you by the hair and jerks you to attention." - Detroit Free Press "Vachss writes hypnotically violent prose made up of equal parts broken concrete blocks and razor wire." - Chicago Sun-Times From the Hardcover edition., "Classic, gritty Vachss, who writes prose you can strike a match on." - Shots "It's brutal, grindhouse and poetic. . . . As if the devil himself had penned [ That's How I Roll ]. . . . Vachss is a writer to admire, one that does not shun from showing a world with all of its ugly flaws." - Lit Reactor "A noir masterpiece." - Irish Independent "[A] chilling tour de force. . . . Crafty, strong-willed Esau combines courtly manners, deadly paybacks, and ruthless singularity of purpose." - Publishers Weekly "Vachss's stories . . . burn with righteous rage and transfer a degree of that rage to the reader." - The Washington Post Book World "Esau Till has to be about the most unique killer-for-hire ever invented. . . . A great character study of a man with a mission, despite overwhelming odds. His survival instincts and matter-of-fact philosophies promise to remain unrivaled for quite some time." - Bookreporter "Vachss's tough-guy writing style grabs you by the hair and jerks you to attention." - Detroit Free Press "This novel could easily be mistaken for a memoir. . . . Both chilling and realistic."- New York Journal of Books "Vachss combines his trademark black humor with his longstanding concern for children and their well-being. . . . A smart, cynical glimpse into the human condition." - Kirkus Reviews
SynopsisA deeply revealing novel from the master of the hardboiled, Andrew Vachss, about an assassin whose love forced him to kill his own conscience. Execution looms, but no prison can hold Esau Till's mind. Or his love. He sits on death row, writing his life story--his last chance to protect his brother, Tory, after he's gone. And, as too many have learned, when it comes to protecting his baby brother, Esau Till is a man without boundaries. When the genetic cards were dealt, Esau drew a genius IQ but a horribly crippled body. His brother Tory drew a "slow" mind but almost superhuman strength. Esau quickly learned the only way to guarantee his baby brother's safety was to make himself indispensable to certain people. A self-taught explosives expert, he became the top assassin for two rival local mobs. Now, as the State prepares to take his life, Esau plots going all-in on the last and most deadly hand he will ever play., A deeply revealing novel from the master of the hardboiled, Andrew Vachss, about an assassin whose love forced him to kill his own conscience.
