From Publishers Weekly

Vachss ( Flood ) is not for everyone, but fans of his hard-hitting series about Burke, the tough ex-con who mercilessly tracks criminals and degenerates down to society's seamiest depths, will find this fifth installment as riveting as his previous thrillers. The Burke novels read almost as one continuing story, with enough references to previous events and characters to leave the new reader, if not baffled, at least feeling on the outside looking in. Even more discomfiting is the fact that Vachss comes close to rendering the term "hard-boiled" obsolete. Many scenes are uncomfortably graphic and intense in themselves; their cumulative effect is extraordinarily powerful. This time, Burke leaves behind the familiar New York underworld and his band of street "brothers" when a former cellmate's call for help takes him to a small Indiana town where the ex-con's nephew has been charged with a series of sex murders. Burke must determine if the boy is guilty and, if he isn't, locate the real killer. Like all Vachss's novels, this one is named after its central female character, here, an enigmatic waitress who turns out to be as tough and deadly as Burke himself. A New York attorney specializing in child abuse cases, Vachss is responsible for some of the grittiest crime fiction written today.

Product Description

In the figure of Burke, Andrew Vachss has given contemporary crime fiction one of its most mesmerizing characters. An abused child raised in orphanages, foster homes, and prisons, Burke is a career criminal and outlaw who steals and scams for a living. But he draws the line at the psychopaths and predators who stalk children. Sometimes he draws that line in blood.

In Blossom, an old cellmate has summoned Burke to a fading Indiana mill town, where a young boy is charged with a crime he didn't commit and a twisted serial sniper has turned a local lover's lane into a killing field. And it's here that Burke meets Blossom, the brilliant, beautiful young woman who has her own reasons for finding the murderer—and her own idea of vengeance. Dense with atmosphere, savagely convincing, this is Vachss at his uncompromising best.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Another tour of the dark side., Oct. 11 2001
Par Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Blossom (Paperback)
Burkes travels to Indiana to help out the nephew of a prison buddy. While uncovering the truth about whether or not the boy is actually the serial killer prosecutors say he is Burke also meets and romances the beautiful Blossom and tracks down a white supremacist sniper (quite obviously modeled after an actual criminal). I found the change of scene and characters refreshing. Recommended.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Burke hits the road, Mai 6 2000
Par Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Blossom (Paperback)
Vachss takes Burke away from his crew and into the Midwest in "Bloosom," and in the process comes up with one of the best Burke novels. Some readers may miss his crew, but instead we get a lot of insight into Burke's history recounted as he strives to help out an old prison buddy. The title character is Burke's most interesting leading lady since Flood walked out of his life after the first novel. Overall, an exciting read pumped full of the philosophy of life by Burke.

Par Un client
This review is from: Blossom (Paperback)
In this book, Burke tries to help the nephew of a man he knew in prison. This man's nephew is accused of a sex killing. The plot takes some unlikely turns. The characters and dialogue are often stilted.
