Praise for Andrew Vachss’s Aftershock, the first volume in a new thriller series
“Vachss impresses again with his new dark and compelling thriller.” —Largehearted Boy.com
“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
“Razor-edged and compulsively readable; the pages fly by.” —Library Journal
Acclaim for Andrew Vachss
“The baddest noir stylist of them all.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Vachss’s stories . . . burn with righteous rage and transfer a degree of that rage to the reader.” —The Washington Post Book World
“Vachss’s reverence for storytelling is evident in the blunt beauty of his language.” —Chicago Sun-Times
“Vachss’s style is personal, laconic, shaded, and, of course, creepy. If you like hard-boiled narrative, this is a read for you.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review
“Vachss seems bottomlessly knowledgeable about the depth and variety of human twistedness.” —The New York Times
A body washes up on a pristine beach. The dead man's skull has been bashed open, and his upper body is covered in neo-Nazi tattoos. The cops pick up Homer, a schizophrenic, who has been showing off a wristwatch he says God gave him. The watch is engraved with a symbol that matches one of the dead man's tattoos. Even though Homer could never have inflicted such damage on a man twice his weight and half his age, he is immediately arrested. Dolly's friend Mack, the director of the area's mental-health outreach program, is outraged. Dolly is outraged, too, but with connections like Dell, she is anything but helpless. As the search for the real killer pulls them deeper into the world of hate-groups, they make a shocking discovery.
