Blossom by Andrew Vachss
In the figure of Burke, Andrew Vachss has given contemporary crime fiction one of its most mesmerizing characters. An abused child raised in orphanages, foster homes, and prisons, Burke is a career criminal and outlaw who steals and scams for a living. But he draws the line at the psychopaths and predators who stalk children. Sometimes he draws that line in blood. In Blossom, an old cellmate has summoned Burke to a fading Indiana mill town, where a young boy is charged with a crime he didn't commit and a twisted serial sniper has turned a local lover's lane into a killing field. And it's here that Burke meets Blossom, the brilliant, beautiful young woman who has her own reasons for finding the murderer -- and her own idea of vengeance. Dense with atmosphere, savagely convincing, this is Vachss at his uncompromising best.Andrew Vachss is a lawyer who solely defends children and adolescents. His numerous books and two collections of short stories have been translated into twenty languages, and his work has featured in periodicals such as Parade, Esquire, Playboy, and The New York Times, among others. He is a native New Yorker who splits his time between his hometown and the Pacific Northwest. www.vachss.com is a dedicated Web site for Andrew Vachss and his work.
