Book Description
======
In his seventh outing, Burke, Vachss’s flinty ex-con and relentless
crusader for abused kids last featured in Sacrifice , is still reeling
after having killed a kid in a previous case gone sour. Here, he leaves
his underground detective network headquartered in Manhattan’s Chinatown
for a rarified Connecticut suburb shaken by a series of teen suicides.
Burke is hired to protect Randy, a listless high school grad whose absent,
jet-setting mother did a favor for Burke years ago when she was a cocktail
waitress in London and he a clandestine government soldier en route
to Biafra. Still haunted by his experience in the African jungle and
his encounter there with the suicidal tug of the abyss–the eponymous
"zero"–Burke plunges into his plush surroundings with the edgy vindictiveness
of a cold-war mercenary, uncovering a ring of blackmail and surveillance,
a sinister pattern of psychiatric experimentation based at a local hospital
and a sadomasochistic club frequented by twin sisters named Charm and
Fancy. Vachss’s seething, macho tale of upper-crust corruption is somewhat
contrived and takes a gratuitously nasty slant toward its female characters.
Here is yet another hard-core novel in the author’s series of fictional
battles against child abuse amidst sleaze, slime, and the nearly surreal.
Burke, who was last seen in Sacrifice (Knopf, 1991), is now confronted
with young adult suicides and sexual blackmail in an affluent Connecticut
suburb. Hired to watch the young son of a former lover, Burke is drawn
into a bizarre situation populated by characters almost as strange as
his friends. The suicides and the sadomasochistic sex, which are weirdly
connected, force Burke to enlist his usual cohorts. Fans will want this
crisply written work, but those not familiar with the bizarre characters
who make up Burke’s circle may be confused.
