Critics Review
“Vachss has always been able to pit his protagonists against the darkness of the human heart to great effect.”
”[A] heady mix of spy thriller, crime novel, and horror… . Vachss approaches it as he does all his work, imbuing it with a strong moral core. Without that moral core, Blackjack would simply be a better-than-usual take on the thriller genre; with it, the belief in and search for justice and loyalty that permeate the story echo in the hearts of its readers so that they see the world in a new light.”
