Assuming you're talking about Andrew Vachss' first novel, I'd
say it's worth reading, but I'm not going to try to compare
it to every hardboiled novel ever written, because I haven't
read them all. His first three Burke books (The other two are
Strega and Blue Belle) are all pretty good. After that, they
go downhill. If you're going to read one, read Blue Belle.
It's the apotheosis of the author's ultra hard boiled
aesthetic.
