Riassunto

Returning to New York to hopefully reconnect with his "family" after years on the run, Burke is forced to step out of the shadows to investigate the murder of his own sixteen-year-old daughter, the offspring of a secret love affair, heading for Long Island to become embroiled in a violent new kind of filmmaking, where he comes face to face with a depraved new kind of killer. 35,000 first printing.

Recensione:

"The hardest of the hard-boiled private eyes is back... [Only Child is] full of surprises." –New York Post

“Vachss prose is never less than hypnotic.... He's a master at shedding light on grime and human and urban decay.".” –Wilmington News Journal

“Only Child is reliable Vachss, another page-ripping underground procedural with harsh relevance and prose that qualifies the real-life children’s lawyer for his own adjective. (Vachssatious?).” –The Seattle Times

“The plot is perfect, the investigation is compelling, and the payoff is bittersweet but satisfying.” –The Jacksonville Sun

“Vachss’ style is personal, laconic, shaded and of course, creepy. If you like hard-boiled punk narrative, this is the read for you.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review

From the Trade Paperback edition.
