Everybody Pays: Stories Paperback - 1999
by Andrew Vachss
From neo-noir master Vachss comes a second collection of stories following the success of "Born Bad"--street-grit prose that has earned him comparisons to Chandler, Cain and Hammett.
Summary
From the jacket flap
"Vachss is a contemporary master."--"The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Vachss' writing is like a dark roller coaster ride of fear, love and hate." --"The Times- Picayune A hit man defies the confines of a life sentence to avenge his sister's batterer. An immaculately dressed man hires a street gang to extract his daughter from a Central American prison, for reasons as mysterious as they are deadly. A two-bit graffiti artist with a taste for Nazi-ganda finds himself face-to-face with three punks out to make a mark of their own--literally--with a tattoo needle.
From neo-noir master Andrew Vachss comes Everybody Pays, 38 white-knuckle rides into a netherworld of pederasts and prostitutes, stick-up kids and fall guys--where private codes of crime and punishment pulsate beneath a surface system of law and order, and our moral compass spins frighteningly out of control. Here is the street-grit prose that has earned Vachss comparisons to Chandler, Cain, and Hammett--and the ingenious plot twists that transform the double-cross into an expression of retribution, the dark deed into a thing of beauty. Electrifying and enigmatic, Everybody Pays is a sojourn into the nature of evil itself--a trip made all the more frightening by its proximity to our front doorstep. "Vachss [is] in the first rank of contemporary American crime writers."--"The Kansas City Star
"Andrew Vachss has become a cult favorite, and for good reason." --"Cosmopolitan
