Dead and Gone

In his twelfth novel, Dead and Gone, author Andrew Vachss brings back his ex-con/career criminal/man for hire detective to serve as a middle man in an exchage of cash for a kidnapped child. Instead, Burke ends up wounded during a shootout—and finds himself trapped out of his element, in a place where pedophiles, abortion clinic bombers, neo-Nazis, and kiddie porn producers have found safe harbor.
