Summary
Andrew Vachss has reinvented detective fiction for an age in which guilty secrets are obsolete and murder isn’t even worth a news headline. And in the person of his haunted, hell-ridden private eye Burke, Vachss has given us a new 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 pain and its accompanying rituals are a source of pleasure-and power.

“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
