What-or who-could turn a gifted little boy into a murderous thing that calls itself ""Satan's Child""? In search of an answer, a man named Burke travels from a festering welfare hotel to a neat frame house where a voodoo priestess presides over a congregation of assassins. For this vigilante and unlicensed private eye has made it his business to defend the small victims whom the law has failed-even a child who has been made into a killer.

Gripping and chillingly knowledgeable about the mechanisms of evil,Sacrifice is a thriller of savage authority from one of the best crime writers of our generation.

Reviews for Sacrifice

Powerful... mesmerizing in its intensity. - Los Angeles Times Vaschss's writing is as gritty as ever... It's doubtful there's another fictional private eye who can summon up in the reader as powerful and powerfully conflicting emotions as Burke can. -Newsday Vachss is a contemporary master... Decidedly hard-boiled, his prose is as lean, tough-edged and brittle as the man who is his protagonist. - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution A harrowing tale in which outcasts are the moral heroes and the people who belong to civilization are corrupt... An absolute original... Andrew Vachss has become a cult favorite, and for good reason. - Cosmopolitan
