Hard Candy Summary
|
In this mercilessly compelling thriller, Burke -- the private eye, sting artist, and occasional hit man who metes out a cruelly ingenious vengeance on those who victimize children -- is up against a soft-spoken messiah who may be rescuing runaways or recruiting them for his own hideous purposes. But in doing so Burke becomes a target for an entire Mafia family, a whore with a heart of cyanide, and a contract killer as implacable as a heart-seeking missile. Written with Vachss' signature narrative overdrive and with his unnerving familiarity with the sub-basement of American crime, Hard Candy is vintage Burke.
"Burke is the toughest talking first-person narrator since Mike Hammer." LOS ANGELES TIMES "Vachss... writes hypnotically violent prose." "In the first rank of American crime writers.... Next to Vachss, Chandler, Cain and Hammett look like choirboys."
