Reviews

"Another Life" is the end of a journey that began with "Flood," Andrew Vachss's first novel featuring career criminal Burke and his Family of Choice. "I didn't set out to write a series. Who but a terminal narcissist would?" the author says of his 1985 debut. But twenty-three years-and seventeen Burke novels-later, Andrew Vachss is finally bringing down the curtain on a series that has been described as "urban nightmares" by "Publishers Weekly," and "strong, gritty, gut-bucket stuff" by the "Chicago Tribune." Anyone who has felt a part of the family that includes recurring series characters Max, the Mole, Michelle, the Prof, Terry, Clarence, and Mama-characters the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" says "are as sharply defined as if they were etched in steel"-will want to be there for the end of the journey, as best-selling, award- winning author Andrew Vachss ties up the loose ends, and sends his Family of Choice off to ... "Another Life."

""Vachss has always been able to make other writers look candy-asses . . . And it's not because he manages to marry grim idealism to action-driven plots. It's because of the unflinching way he looks at evil."
-"Chicago Reader
""Vachss is red hot and as serious as a punctured lung."
-"Playboy
""The New York Burke inhabits is not borrowed from anybody and shimmers on the page as gaudily and scarily as it does on the street."
