About this ebook
Burke--ex-con, mercenary, sometime killer--makes his living preying on New York's most vicious predators and avenging their innocent victims. But in Andrew Vachss's mercilessly suspenseful new novel, Burke finds himself working the other side of the street, where guilt and innocence are as disposable as the sheets in a Times Square hotel--and as dirty.
Burke's new employer is Kite, a fanatical crusader who specializes in debunking "false allegations of child sexual abuse. Kite has a case that may be the real thing, but needs Burke to tell him if it is. And if mere money can't persuade Burke to cooperate, Kite has plenty of other incentives at his disposal--including a fanatical bodyguard with a taste for corsets and brass knuckles. A tour guide to hell written in icy prose, False Allegations is Vachss at his most unnerving.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I thought this could have been a very good story but Vachss writing style was not up to his past standards here.
The dialog, which is usually some of the best parts of the Burke books, had far too many unfinished sentences often confusing the situation being discussed.
The ending was also the weakest so far in the Burke series.
Hoping this was just a 'bad-day' for Vachss.
