Critics Review
“Some of the cleanest, meanest, stripped-down-and-sparkling prose ever penned.” -Austin Chronicle “A beautifully brutal combination of pulpy noir and social commentary… . Vachss’s writing remains raw and hungry, with an epidermis of rage barely containing an infinite core of sadness.” -The Miami Herald
“Andrew Vachss could send his hero Burke to Mayberry, and he’d still manage to uncover a dark underbelly of sin and corruption.” -Capital Times
“Gritty, fast-paced … One of the most hard-boiled and important crime series ever published.” -Huntsville Times
