I won't go so far as to say "False Allegations" was full of
propeganda (it's been a few years since I read it and I don't
honestly remember how much preaching there was), but it was
one lousy book and it all fell apart at the end. All the
king's horses couldn't fix that sucker no matter how hard
they tried. Ditto "Choice of Evil" - that was just plain
weird.
And while Vachss has gotten a little bit better since "Dead
And Gone" (that was almost a re-boot for the series) he
really hasn't been in top form since
"Footsteps of the Hawk".
I support Vachss' work whole-heartedly, but even his
choir-preaching has gotten a little too out of hand. Like, I
get it already, jeepers.... he was so much more sublte in the
beginning. --Brian
