Narration Conducive To Books Blue Belle (Burke #3)

Burke is one of the most cold-blooded yet strangely honorable heroes in the history of crime fiction, an outlaw who makes his living by preying on the most vicious of New York City's bottom-feeders, those who thrive on the suffering of children. In Andrew Vachss's tautly engrossing novel Burke is given a purse full of dirty money to find the infamous Ghost Van that is cutting a lethal swath among the teenage prostitutes in the hood. He also gets help in the form of a stripper named Belle, whose moves on the runway are outclassed only by what she can do in a getaway car. But not even Burke is prepared for the evil that is behind the Ghost Van or for the sheer menace of its guardian, a cadaverous karate expert who enjoys killing so much that he has named himself after death. A book so ferocious, with characters so venal and actions so breakneck, that you dare not get in the way...

Criticize Of Books Blue Belle (Burke #3)

I am reading this in the omnibus book of Burke #2, #3 and #4 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82...The Burke beat goes on. There are eighteen books in this series published from 1985 to 2006.If Burke pops in a tape in his Plymouth, there is a good chance it is Judy Henske. We might consider her one of the cast of characters since she appeared in an earlier book and her tunes seem likely to show up in the future when Burke isnt playing the blues. Burke says: "If Linda Ronstadt's a torch singer,

If Andrew Vachss did his books Sesame Street style, then this one would be brought to you by the letter M because in addition to Max, Michelle, Mama and the Mole, he adds characters named Mortay, McGowan, Morelli, Morales and Marques. Of course, if Vachss did Sesame Street then Bert and Ernie would turn out to be pedophiles that would lure Elmo into their house with promises of candy while Big Bird filmed it. And you don't even want to know what that freak Mr. Snuffleupagus would be doing.

I bought Blue Belle pretty much motivated solely because I heard Vachss wrote good crime stuff and also because if the cover of this book was the cover to an album I would buy that album. It's wonderfully garish and mildly unsettling with an undeniable '80s flavor. The typeset seriously looks like mold. The matching cover to the next book Hard Candy is even better! Anyways...the point is that I really had no idea what to expect. Not only is it my first Vachss but it's the third Burke novel so a

So Sad:(

So disappointed!! This book is part 'Carry On' .. part violent revenge and the rest is misogynistic cod's wallop. I fail to understand why a woman need's to be 'slapped', 'nipped' and 'patted on the rump' to reassure her insecurities .. What is she, a farm animal!! The character of Belle is so deeply annoying that i started to skip the Belle & Burke scenes just to get on with the story. Andrew Vachss clearly has a thing for large, mentally unstable, obsessive women .. she's only met Burke

An early entry in Vachss' Burke series and my first introduction to the character and his world. Burke is an independent sort of gun for hire/fixer/investigator living in New York City's underworld. He has a family of people also living in the margins of society to aide him in his work. He also has a particular hatred for those who would exploit or abuse children. In this one Burke is hired by a pimp to track down and put a stop to the "Ghost Van", a mysterious van that's been trolling NYC's red

What did I think? This guy's the king of "Noir", is what I think. Andrew Vachss, a lawyer and author with a penchant for the welfare of kids and women - especially the kids - has created Burke to let some steam escape.Burke's world is not the world you and I live in. Burke exists in NYC but he is not seen in it. When society mentions the name "Burke" it is in the fashion of a legend: a myth, someone who is not real. Burke likes it that way.With unforgettable characters fully developed over a
