Negative Positive
Title: Top-flight as usual
Review: Here comes Burke again, as resourceful, violent, tough, single-minded, stubborn and vengeful as ever, and always on the side of the angels (although it's not always easy to tell!). There has never been a more readable crime series or a more compelling protagonist. Don't look for the cliches of crime writing -- bam! wham! bang! bop! Subtlety and nuance abound in the work of Andrew Vachss, and there is always meaning behind his meaning. Every time I think Vachss and his work have topped out, he exceeds himself again.
