In Blossom, an old cellmate has summoned Burke to a rundown Indiana mill town where Rebecca's teenage cousin Lloyd has been accused of a crime he didn't commit...so he says. When the police don't have enough evidence to hold the boy, they remand him into Virgil's and Rebecca's custody. Then the heat gets turned up. When bail is revoked and Lloyd runs Virgil goes after him and both are now in hiding. Virgil wants Burke to find out the truth about his cousin and about the "Son of Sam" type murders that have been being committed. It’s here that Burke meets Blossom, a beautiful waitress who has her own reasons for wanting to catch the killer.
I loved this audiobook because, Andrew Vachss tough dialogues lends authenticity to the unspeakable horrors that are perpetrated upon innocent children. Vachss serves as a law guardian in New York state and openly admits that he writes about the abuse of children because he wants to raise people's awareness of what's going on, and he'll reach a wider audience with fiction.
