Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

The only person Burke has ever called “father,” a legendary crime planner known throughout the underground as the Prof, is in a coma, barely clinging to life in the off-the-books hospital where the crew stashed him after their last job went off the rails. So when Pryce, a shadow-man with deep (and very dark) government connections, offers a package – Presidential-grade medical services for the Prof and a wiped-clean slate for everyone who participates – Burke signs the contract without reading it.

The two-year-old son of a Saudi prince has been kidnapped. A highly professional snatch: no errors, no forensics...and no ransom note. Burke’s job: get the kid back. Whatever it costs, whatever it takes. Pryce came to Burke because the profile concluded this was the work of a pedophile ring. But after Burke turns over every rock and comes up empty in his hunt for maggots, the ultimate man-for-hire must return to the day “Baby Boy Burke” was written on his birth certificate to conduct the one interrogation that could possibly save this child and write, in the blood of his enemies, the final act of his life story.

2.0 out of 5 stars Candidate for the weakest book in the Burke series?, Jul 19 2009
I have read all the Burke series and much of Andrew Vachss'
other novels and short stories, starting with Strega, the second
of the Burke series. Flood, the first Burke book, came
later for me.
The Burke series I found always hard to put down,quick, and easy
reads that I usually finished on the first or second day.
I found this particular entity which may be the final one in the series
very slow and ultiminately a slow and disappointing novel.
Not one of Vachss' books that I would recommend.
I rather hope it is not the final. I would not want Burke to go out on a negative note.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this guy now., Nov 18 2008
By Paul Donato (Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews
I know I haven't even read this "Burke" novel yet but going by the past dozen or so it will be a hit. I give it 5 advance stars so I can be the first to tell you if you haven't read the "Burke" books and are in to seriously hard boiled crime fiction where the "bad" guys get one over on the "worse" guys, you'd better start at the beginning. Don't read this one. Go back and check out some Andrew Vachss websites, find a list of the novels in order and come back to Amazon and order the first one. If you like it you'll be hooked. Then read them all. They're not for the weak stomached, but if vengance is your thing and you want to see some real justice in the world read these books and do it in order. it will make it that much more fun. Burke, the main protaganist, is Bond (Daniel Craig version) without the bowtie, who goes anywhere, does anything, and says to hell with the rules. And one last thing Burke and his criminal family love to listen to Judy Henske. Check her CDs out to

Enjoy the ride
