“Classic, gritty Vachss, who writes prose you can strike a match on.” —Shots

“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
