Book summaryAndrew Vachss, best known for his contemporary noir series featuring the ruthless Burke, retreats to an earlier era with this standalone novel, a tense historical thriller set in 1959. Wheelchair-bound crimelord Royal Beaumont maintains an iron grip on Locke City, a town where vice has replaced the mill as the chief industry. When various organizations--including the IRA, the mob, and the FBI--begin to close in on Beaumont's fiefdom, he calls in Walker Dett, a hit man who excels in mass slaughter, to take care of the situation. And Dett is more than equal to it...that is, until he meets lovely Tussy Chambers, a local waitress. Media reviews"Dark, violent, blood-drenched, page-turning." (starred review) |
