Product Description

Burke’s newest client is a woman named Flood, who has the face of an angel, the body of a high-priced stripper, and the skills of a professional executioner. She wants Burke to find a monster for her — so she can kill him with her bare hands.

In this cauterizing thriller, Andrew Vachss’s renegade private eye teams up with a lethally gifted avenger to follow a child’s murderer through the catacombs of New York, where every alley is blind and the penthouses are as dangerous as the basements. Fearfully knowing, crackling with narrative tension, and written in prose as forceful as a hollow-point slug, Flood is Burke at his deadliest — and Vachss at the peak of his form.

“An extraordinary thriller. . . . Vachss never flinches from the horror.” — Washington Post Book World

“Burke would eat Spade and Marlowe for breakfast, not even spitting out the bones. [He] is one tough, mean, pray-God-you-don’t-meet-him hombre.” — Boston Herald


About the Author

His many novels and two collections of short stories have been translated into twenty languages, and his work has appeared in Parade, Esquire, Playboy, and The New York Times, among other publications.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A SIZZLING THRILLER TO HEAT THESE COLD DAYS, Nov. 12 2009
Par Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flood: A Novel (Audio CD)
Amazing when you think that this iconic thriller was first written some 25 years ago. Since then there have been a number of copycats who have tried to imitate Vachss's tough guy narrative or replicate the jaw-dropping cast of characters who dwell in hero Burke's netherworld, but it can't be done. Vachss set the pace when he introduced his quixotic hero, a guy with a record and standards he's set for himself. Burke is a street wise (or more accurately dark alley wise) misfit who takes on cases that baffle the police.

A gorgeous gal named Flood comes to him asking for help in finding a child killer so as she delicately puts it she "can kill him with her bare hands." The search is on through some of the most dangerous places in New York City and among the lowest of the lowlifes, the desperate depraved denizens of the City. However, while police and other private eyes would be put off by the likes of these, they're people Burke knows and understands.

Vachss writes in a gripping almost staccato style, which is the way actor Christopher Lane narrates the story. It's a task to take on the voices of not only Burke but also his crew of pals, such as a panhandler dubbed the Prof and a genius in electronic who dwells under a pile of junked cars.

If you want a sizzling thriller to heat these cold days, FLOOD is for you.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Fun and fast paced, Mars 26 2004
Par "boomerangomp" (Washington, DC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Flood (Paperback)
This book is entertaining by all means and will not leave you bored at any point during the novel. If that is what you are going for, than by all means pick up this novel, it will not leave you disappointed. The characters are incredibly interesting and at some points Vachss reminded me of Spillane, my all time favorite mystery writer. The only problem I had with this book was with the main character. Everything seems to go his way, not necessairly in the events of the story, but in his past. Numerous times when an object is referenced to, Burke will go ahead and explain how he attained it, and this happens quite often. In the first few pages you learn why Burke does not pay for his apartment, and you think "Wow, that is pretty cool." And then when you read about his friend Max the Silent, you think, "Wow, that is pretty cool." And you think this when you learn about his mail, or when you learn how his calls are routed. It just seems too convenient and fantastic. I have not read any of Vachss' other books (I plan to), but I have heard from friends that they are all about child molesters. This isnt a good thing, writers should write about more than just one topic.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Unique and Original, Jui 21 2003
Par "jdny" (New York, NY) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Flood (Paperback)
I recently revisited the first book in Vachss' BURKE series -- FLOOD. This book still holds up and shows what an inventive and original writer Vachss really is. When it was originally released it was a tour de force of masterful and original crime fiction. Something that the genre was seriously lacking -- precise, hard-hitting writing combined with anger and outrage at the crimes visited upon society's innocents. Many years later the book still stands as a uniquely original and compelling piece of fiction-fact. We all know *now* the truth of what Vachss writes. To try and compare him to anyone else writing in the crime-fiction genre just isn't possible and does other authors a disservice. FLOOD is a one of a kind masterpiece and Vachss is a one of a kind writer, who writes from ground zero in the war against the predators who prey on the innocents.
