Annotation:
'Vachss is a contemporary master.' Atlanta Journal Constitution
'His writing has the power of a rogue elephant.' Cleveland Plain-Dealer
'A confection from Hell- a poison pill laced with acid and wrapped in razor-edged concertina wire.' Courier-Post (Philadelphia)
'Jolting &eerily seductive.' Washington Times
'Each [Burke book] is as savage as Celine. And there it is, a three sentence throwaway paragraph, as pure as Euclid. I`m a sucker for such Elegance.' Newsday
'It`s wonderful. The words do leap off the page. The principal character is an original. The style is as clean as a haiku.' Washington Post
'Andrew Vachss is unique among modern writers; no one else comes close to the raw power and intellectual ambiguity that he manifests so elegantly, so coldly.' Clarion-Ledger (Jackson, MI)
***
Now a paid assassin, Burke is on a collision course with a man named Train, who runs a 'safehouse' for kids. But when Burke learns that his suspicions about Train are right (the safehouse keeps kids in harm`s way), he becomes his own gun-for-hire.
