Reviews for Aftershock: A Thriller

“Andrew Vachss impresses again with his new, dark and compelling thriller.” —Largehearted Boy “The baddest noir stylist of them all.” —Kirkus Reviews “Razor-edged and compulsively readable, the pages fly by.” —Library Journal ""Disquieting but engrossing. . . . Vachss explores the horrific intersection of victims and victimizers, evil and avengers. The setting has moved from urban to small town, but the eternal conflict is as it ever was.” —Booklist
