Blackjack: A Cross Novel (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)
"Vachss effectively channels Predator and Rambo in this heated blend of fantasy and machismo in the urban jungle." --Publishers Weekly"[A] heady mix of spy thriller, crime novel, and horror. . . . Vachss approaches it as he does all his work, imbuing it with a strong moral core. Without that moral core,Blackjackwould simply be a better-than-usual take on the thriller genre; with it, the belief in and search for justice and loyalty that permeate the story echo in the hearts of its readers so that they see the world in a new light."    --The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction"Vachss has always been able to pit his protagonists against the darkness of the human heart to great effect."    --Booklist
