Series: Burke Series

Burke is back, but still lurking in the shadows, unable to return home. He is prowling the unfamiliar streets of Portland, Oregon, in search of a runaway teen.

By all accounts, Rosebud Carlin is a happy, well-adjusted girl.

She doesn't fit the profile of the runaway kids Burke knows so well and once was.

But there's something about her father

Burke knows the street script, but the actors are all strangers. Cut off from his family and his network of criminal contacts, Burke is forced into a dangerous alliance with a renegade group dedicated to providing relief to those in intractable pain by any means necessary. A bargain is struck, and the fuse is lit.

Heart-stopping and hard-hitting, Pain Management is the latest bout in Andrew Vachss's thrilling reign as undisputed champ of brass knuckles noir.

Reviews for Pain Management: A Burke Novel

Some of the cleanest, meanest, stripped-down-and-sparkling prose ever penned. Austin Chronicle A beautifully brutal combination of pulpy noir and social commentary. . . . Vachss s writing remains raw and hungry, with an epidermis of rage barely containing an infinite core of sadness. The Miami Herald Andrew Vachss could send his hero Burke to Mayberry, and he d still manage to uncover a dark underbelly of sin and corruption. Capital Times Gritty, fast-paced . . . One of the most hard-boiled and important crime series ever published. Huntsville Times
