Andrew Vachss’s implacable private eye has a new client, Strega. She wants Burke to find an obscene photograph and that search will take him into the ocean that flows just beneath the city, an ocean whose currents are flesh and money, the anguish of children and the pleasure of twisted adults. It is a place that Burke can visit only at the risk of his sanity and his life. But between the power of Strega and his own sense of justice, there is no turning back.
In Strega one of our most acclaimed crime writers gives us a thriller that might have been imagined by Dante. For this is a tour of hell with no stops left out, conducted by a novelist who writes with the authority of the damned.

Phil Gigante has the accents down pat and does a good job in his performance.
Reasonable follow-up to "Flood"

Any additional comments?
This is the second of the series for Burke; the main character in the first novel is referenced and can be a bit distracting if this is your first foray into Burke's world. My advice: start with the first novel, you will understand the characters better as there is really good development in "Flood" (the first novel). That said, this is essentially a Robin Hood-esque story of a colorful band of misfits from NYC's seedy underside whom do not have any issues with criminal activities albeit they don't target the "average citizen", meaning they only target other criminals. Most of all, they hate child molesters and woe be to those who find themselves in the crosshairs because of their despicable behavior. Burke is a product of the child protective services/welfare/foster system who has done time is prison and does not want to go back. He is a reluctant protagonist not easily led by others, but drawn to the avenging angel role. His world is violent and unforgiving, and he is not an easy person to like although you want him to succeed.Raw and Violent

Incredible read

As for the narrator, he was kind of offensive with his stereotyped readings of black and Asian characters in the first book but he tones it down here. He gets Burke perfect.
Narrator is better here than on first book

Burke at his best.

I'm not one to give up on a book, whether reading or listening, but when getting through the book becomes a chore rather than an enjoyment, it has to go.
Didn't live up to expectations
