"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."

Synopsis
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 verite., 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.

    Excellent eBay seller with good communications!!! Book came as described (GOOD condition), reasonably packaged (plastic mailer bag with 3 other books), and in very good time considering free shipping (projected delivery 5/7 thru 5/12; rcvd 5/10). Have purchased multiple books from SecondSalecom, and have been quite satisfied with the quality, appearance, and value of those purchases. Will definitely check their selection for future book purchases. Thanks, SecondSalecom!

    I had a positive experience with this seller. I did receive an incorrect item in my package, but when I reached out to the seller about the problem, they responded in a timely manner and resolved the issue. Items were packaged in a bag but arrived in good condition as described. I am very happy with the condition of the books I received. Great value. I have already placed additional orders with this seller. Thank you!
