Another Life
|
| | | In this cutting and dark thriller series, Burke returns to save the life of his a oefather, a while searching for the abducted child of an oil sheik.
The Detroit Free Press has said a oeTherea (TM)s no way to put a [Vachss book] down once youa (TM)ve begun.a This latest installment in the Burke series upholds that testimony.
Annotation:
Father and sons...sons and fathers....In order to save his surrogate father, the underworld crime boss known as Prof, Burke hastily agrees to rescue the kidnapped son of a Saudi Arabian prince--using any means necessary. Billed as the "final Burke novel," ANOTHER LIFE certainly is propelled forward by an urgency to come full circle.

| Author Bio| Andrew H. Vachss | | Andrew Vachss, an attorney specializing in juvenile justice and child abuse, has written many novels featuring social vigilante, Burke, a man with a mission to put away child molesters for good. Like his ex-con hero, Vachss (pronounced "Vax") is a social crusader for the protection of children. He graduated from case Western in 1965 with a B.A. and from The New England School of Law in 1975 with a J.D. He began his first novel in 1983 when he realized the difficulties of making a living as a lawyer representing abused children. For years, Vachss wrote ideas for characters, themes, and plots on index cards, and when he finally felt he had accumulated enough, he wrote his debut novel, FLOOD. Since then, Vachss has continued his two-pronged attack against molesters, fighting in both the courtroom and on the pages of his best-selling mysteries. He has also founded "Don't! Buy! Thai!", an organization protesting child prostitution and calling for a boycott of all products from Thailand. Vachss is the author of several comic book series (some original stories, some based on his own voluminous collection of short stories) and his nonfiction has been published in numerous national publications. |
