I've read enough Andrew Vachss to know that he isn't always at the top of his game, but this was completely rubbish. It never made sense and the elements never cohered in this weird mash up of streetwise mercenaries taking on a supernatural cloud of murder... or something. Then the whole thing concludes 40 pages before the end of the book, so Vachss rehashes an old short story and tacks it on as an "epilogue". Really poor stuff. (

Did not finish this book. Couldn't really get into the character of Cross, who seems like a harder, less realistic version of Burke. When Burke and his family went to work I never felt that they were crossing the boundaries of possibilities. This book reads more like a sort of darker Dan Brown crime fantasy.
