If you put them side by side I would go for Vachss, but it is only a debut book, which means I would expect him to construct a better book next time around. <br />(I was also reminded of your difficulties with the first Burke book you tried. I think I was in stitches reading the linked review.I'm smiling now!)<br /><br />Killer King was the local nickname ascribed to the Martin Luther King Hospital which is in the locale where the novel takes place. I was too lazy to properly reference it in my review - shakes head wistfully - I'm unaware if it exists in reality and is correctly nicknamed, or made up shit - I'd like to think the former, but hey. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-80338360003004236992014-01-15T07:25:32.730-08:002014-01-15T07:25:32.730-08:00A cop gone roque is not one of my favorite narrati...A cop gone roque is not one of my favorite narratives at all even if it's to save abused children and it does remind me just a little tiny bit of Andrew Vachss anti-hero in the Burke series of which I've only read one book but Burke was never a cop but more of a scam artist...so not exactly in the same league but still. I'm not averse to anti-heroes in general as you well know but this storyline would give me fits. One last thing: "Killer King hospital."
