Tim wrote: Unlicensed private investigator and con artist Burke is back in New York City for his latest case. An abused child is accused of two brutal murders, but claims he remembers nothing. The DA wants to prosecute him, while child advocates are trying to keep him out of the clutches of the justice system. Burke must locate the adults who abused this child and drove him to kill. Burke is also employed by a Voodoo Queen to track down a child killer, who has escaped into the New York underground. So, it is another dark, haunted Burke adventure. It's heavy stuff, but Vachss writes the hard-boiled crime novel so well that is is impossible to look away.
