Sacrifice Summary
| Andrew Vachss' brilliant, steel-edged anti-hero--the P.I. called Burke--is back on familiar ground: the hellish lower depths of New York City, where child abuse is just the generic term for a hundred unfathomable brands of emotional and physical cruelty. Burke stumbles on a brand that's new even to him when he discovers a child whose monstrousness has been "created" by a true monster. |

What -- or who -- could turn a gifted little boy into a murderous thing that calls itself "Satan's Child"? In search of an answer, Burke travels from a festering welfare hotel to a neat frame house where a voodoo priestess presides over a congregation of assassins.
"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."
