From Publishers Weekly Burke， a tough ex-con who ruthlessly tracks criminals， makes his fifth appearance here as he investigates several sex-related murders in an Indiana town. "Many scenes are uncomfortably graphic and intense in themselves; their cumulative effect is extraordinarily powerful，" said PW. "Vachss is responsible for some of the grittiest crime fiction written today." Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc. Book Description Two things bring Burke from New York to Indiana: a frantic call from an old cell mate named Virgil and a serial sniper whose twisted passion is to pick off couples on lovers' lane. Virgil's nephew is the innocent prime suspect， and Burke vows to find the real killer by any means necessary. And then comes Blossom. Slim， gorgeous， brilliant. She's got a heated interest in the murders . . . and in Burke. See all Editorial Reviews
