Description

Burke’s latest customer is just a lady called Ton, who has got the face of an angel, your body of the high priced stripper, and the abilities of the qualified executioner. She wants Burke to locate a beast for her — so she may kill him with her bare fingers. Within this thriller, Tim Vachss’s rebel private-eye clubs up with a lethally gifted avenger to check out a murderer through the catacombs of Ny, where every street is impaired and the penthouses are as harmful whilst the cellars. Fearfully understanding, crackling with narrative pressure, and like a hollow-point slug written in prose as powerful, Ton is Burke at his deadliest Vachss and — at the top of his kind.
