About this audiobook
For years Burke has harbored an outlaw's hard love for Wolfe, the beautiful, driven former sex-crimes prosecutor who was fired for refusing to "go along to get along." So when Wolfe is arrested for the attempted murder of John Anson Wychek, a vicious rapist she once prosecuted, Burke deals himself in. That means putting together a distrustful alliance between his underground "family of choice," Wolfe's private network, and a rogue NYPD detective who has his own stake in the outcome.
Burke knows that Wolfe's alleged "victim," although convicted only once, is actually a serial rapist. The deeper he presses, the more gaping holes he finds in the prosecution's case, but shadowy law enforcement agencies seem determined to protect Wychek at all costs, no matter who gets sacrificed. Burke ups the ante by re-opening all the old "cold case" rape investigations, calls in a lot of markers from both sides of the law, and finally shows all the players why "down here" is no place for tourists.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Having read one Andrew Vachss novel that I really liked, I hoped I'd found another author who really clicked with me. So I checked two more books out of the novel.The only reason I even finished reading this second one was the unfulfilled hope that it would end better than it started out.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've been reading Vachss's Burke books for a long time now. This one has all the old familiar characters and plenty of backstory for those who aren't familiar with the earlier books. For those who don't already know Burke, he's definitely not your typical hero. He's frightening and vengeful, but he's also got an unshakable moral code.Vachss's books are dark and violent, but extremely well done. If you think you can handle it, I recommend his books strongly.I don't want to say too much about this one, but I will say I didn't see the end coming. I'll definitely get the next Burke book as soon as it's available.
