Summary: Hooked me on Burke for life
Review: This was the first Vachss book I ever read, it was given to me when at the age of thirty I finally got that horrid childhood disease, chicken pox. While laid up with 104 for a fever and wanting to die, my father gave me a copy of Sacrifice to help pass away the hours. Within the first 20 pages the pox were forgotten and a Burke fan was born for life. I knew a pedophile. For years we tried to convince 'the right people' that this person was indeed a pedophile. Unfortunately no one listened and his money bought his release. How I wish I knew a Burke in the real world. What impressed me the most about this book was its truth. It is evident from the start that Mr. Vachss has spent time in the trenches, that his stories are sadly based on a grim part of life most people would rather not acknowledge. The message in his words is conveyed through the gruff gentleness of Burke. The loyalty between Burke and his group is a loyalty very few people share. His voodoo accurate as well, this is simply a high quality novel that will disturb the reader, make the reader think and introduce the reader permanently into The Zone. Read this book.

Summary: A morally chilling novel of suspense.
Review: Vachss shows he has literary guts in this Burke novel,
where our anti-hero is hunting down a cult that preys on
children and trains them for murder. Burke will have to
confront his deepest demons, and question the morals of
his vigilantism in this excellent novel.
