But the stalker has a protector, someone so informed, so ruthless, and so connected that he need only make a few phone calls to shut down Crystal Beth's operation for good—and Burke along with it.  Sinuous in its complexities, brutal in its momentum, \u003ci\u003eSafe House \u003c\/i\u003eis Burke at the edge of his nerve and cunning.  And it's Vachss at the peak of his form. \u003c\/p\u003e\"The hardest-boiled crime fiction this side of Sing Sing\"- \u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Vachss makes other noir writers seem like William Saroyan.\"- \u003ci\u003eFort Worth Star-Telegram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Scorching... the prose is accomplished, stylized, and flinty; the plot is direct and commanding.\"- \u003ci\u003eSeattle Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Vachss's reverence for storytelling is evident in the blunt beauty of his language.\"-\u003ci\u003eChicago Sun-Times\u003c\/i\u003eAndrew Vachss’s many books include the Burke novels and two previous collections of short stories.
