Description

Within this mercilessly powerful thriller, Burke—the private-eye, sting performer, and periodic hit-man who metes out a brutally innovative payback on those who victimize children—is facing a soft spoken messiah, who might be saving runaways or enrolling them for their own gruesome reasons. However in doing this Burke becomes a goal for a whole Mafia family, a whore with a heart of cyanide, and a deal killer as implacable as a heat-seeking missile. Created with Vachssis trademark story overdrive—and his unnerving knowledge with the sub-cellar of National crime—Hard Chocolate is classic Burke.
