Description
An emotionally unsettling client named Strega pulls ex-con private investigator Burke into a case that begins with a single, obscene photograph and quickly spirals into something far darker. As Burke follows the trail, he’s drawn into a hidden network where exploitation is traded like contraband, forcing him to confront the limits of justice and the cost of obsession. With its relentless momentum and morally charged atmosphere, the novel blends hardboiled grit with psychological dread, turning every lead into a threat. Known for his implacable, street-level storytelling, Andrew Vachss delivers a chilling pursuit that examines power, corruption, and the brutal vulnerability of children—without offering easy comfort.
