Publisher Description

They meet in a no-name diner. A shadowy man hands Burke a CD dossier of someone he wants found. Minutes later, as Burke watches from an alley, his client is gunned down by a professional hunter-killer team. Burke slips away, unsure if he’s been spotted. Later, when he examines the dossier, he discovers that the missing woman is Beryl Preston, a girl he’d rescued from a brutal pimp twenty years earlier—when she was only thirteen—and returned to her father.

Now he has to find her again—not only because she might be in danger, but also because he has to prove to himself that his rescue mission hadn’t been financed by a predator who wanted his “property” returned. His search will force him to confront a new kind of human ugliness and, finally, to practice the survivalist triage that has marked—and cursed—his life since childhood. In Mask Market, Burke the outlaw investigator finds himself searching for the truth: not only about a girl named Beryl, but also about himself.

This is classic Burke: dark, dangerous, and galvanizing, from the opening scene to the explosive climax.

"Much better than Down in the Zero...great pacing...kept you interested until the very end...good character development, surprising revelations...definitely makes me want to keep reading the series and go back and catch the ones I haven't read yet. "

    " i love the Burke series. the protagonist is a con-man/criminal, but you root for him because he avenges victims of child abuse and rape. i get some pent up anger and aggression out vicariously through these books. "

    " Initial premise was weak, I thought, and reduced the tension for the rest of the book. The Burke series has a lot of quirky characters, likeable in their criminal way, and the ones I have read previously hung together better. The action in this was overly convoluted. "

    " Haven't read Vachss in years, since about the first 6-7 books, which were so dark and depressing, although gripping. This one is gripping, but much less of a downer. Vachss hasn't lost his crisp writing at all. "

    " Got this book at the library and it seemed interesting. After the first chapter or two, the story seemed to start dragging. At time the story got to be interesting, at others it was just shear drudgery to continue. Half way through this book I called it quits. It just could not hold my interest. "
