Down Here by Andrew Vachss

Down Here by Andrew Vachss

For years Burke has harbored an outlaw's hard love for Wolfe, the beautiful, driven former sex-crimes prosecutor who was fired for refusing to go along to get along. So when Wolfe is arrested for the attempted murder of John Anson Wychek, a vicious rapist she once prosecuted, Burke deals himself in. That means putting together a distrustful alliance between his underground family of choice, Wolfe's private network, anda rogue NYPD detective who has his own stake in the outcome.
Burke knows that Wolfe s alleged victim, although convicted only once, is actually a serial rapist. The deeper he presses, the more gaping holes he finds in the prosecution s case, but shadowy law enforcement agencies seem determined to protect Wychek at all costs, no matter who it sacrifices. Burke ups the ante by re-opening all the old cold case rape investigations, calls in a lot of markers from both sides of the law, and finally shows all the players why down here is no place for tourists.
