{"product_id":"2940169875171","title":"Footsteps of the Hawk","description":"Andrew Vachss has reinvented detective fiction for an age in which guilty secrets are obsolete and murder isn't even worth a news headline. And in the person of his haunted, hell-ridden private eye Burke, Vachss has given us a new kind of hero: a man inured to every evil except the kind that preys on children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow Burke is back, investigating an epidemic of apparent suicides among the teenagers of a wealthy Connecticut suburb. There he discovers a sinister connection between the anguish of the young and the activities of an elite sadomasochistic underground, for whom pain and its accompanying rituals are a source of pleasure and power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Vachss's] short sharp sentences crackle with energy; his plots are satisfyingly elaborate; the narratives are beautifully paced, and the characters . . . are always pungently individual.\" - Chicago Sun-Times\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The characters and events are as sharply defined as if they were etched in steel. The prose is short and choppy, like the ticking of a time bomb about to explode.\" - Seattle Post-Intelligencer","brand":"Brilliance Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47099782136048,"sku":"2940169875171","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169875171_p0.jpg?v=1763696152","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169875171","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
