There is a touching scene early in the book when his is reunited with Flower, who is not fazed by Burke's new, mangled face. However, Burke is running out of money, especially after being set up with a new batcave. After some discussion of getting involved in trafficking, Burke is hired by a mob guy and his surprising friend to find out who killed his illegitimate daughter and why. Lots of theories, but the investigation shows the girl Vonni was a normal kid, which is why the violent nature of her death is hard to understand, except as a message. All good, but the book drags and the antics and dialogue of Cyn and Rejii are pretty annoying, although Michelle's star shines bright in this one. Vachss uses the younger generation's obsession about video and fame to craft a memorable but very dark story. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

It's been years since Burke has been home, years since he's seen his "family" and worked in the underbelly of New York City. Although his appearance has changed, his reputation grown dusty and his wallet thin, his skills and his crew remain razor sharp. So when he is contacted by a mob boss to investigate the murder of his illegitimate daughter, Vonni, Burke takes the job and begins searching for an unspeakably brutal killer. Posing as a casting director looking for tomorrow's stars, Burke reaches out to the high school students who knew Vonni, and may know the identity of the killer. Before long he unearths a perverse enterprise--a young director pursuing a brutal new type of cinema verité. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
