		Andrew Vachss has been a federal investigator in sexually transmitted diseases; a social case worker; a director of a maximum-security prison for youthful offenders.
		Andrew Vachss: I deeply appreciate the respect that you've shown her, and I'm happy to tell you that true to her word, Alice did find another ring to fight in.
		Andrew Vachss: We used to have a variety of internships; however, the learning curve is so steep, and the office is so highly pressured, that it didn't prove to be the training opportunity we hoped for.

	Andrew Vachss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrew Henry Vachss (born October 19, 1942) is an American crime fiction author, child protection consultant, and attorney exclusively representing children and youths.
		Prior to becoming a lawyer, Andrew Vachss was a federal investigator in sexually transmitted diseases, a social services caseworker, a labor organizer, and had directed a maximum-security prison for juvenile offenders.
		He's so committed to his family of choice—not his DNA, biological family, which tortured him, or the state which raised him—but the family that he chose, that homicide is a natural consequence of injuring any of that family.

	Andrew Vachss
		Andrew Vachss, in his commitment to children in such nightmarish situations, has created a network where dogs are trained to accompany children into court.
		Vachss is to understand how strengthening a dog can be for a heart and soul, how the mere presence of a dog can give a child the feeling of being protected, strong and safe, even in the worst of situations.
		Andrew Vachss has brought the issue of child abuse into novel form, confronts the depth of the criminal mind and the innocent heart; has written two of the darkest of the dark Batman novels, and has used the proceeds to protect and defend battered and molested children in court.

	Andrew Vachss·EVERYBODY PAYS·Night Flight
		Vachss is widely recognized for his dark, New York City based Burke crime novels in which the sometime criminal and his cadre of vigilantes battle those who exploit women and children.
		Vachss, a lawyer who works as an advocate for abused women and children, clearly believes most abusers and killers are made not born.
		Vachss' stripped-down, pumped-up prose shows to better advantage in a good half of these 38 stories, since the unspeakable revelations tend to cut off the heat just as the pot is about to boil over.

	Chat mit Andrew Vachss : The Zero 5.0laf - Die Offizielle Website von Andrew Vachss
		Vachss: I appreciate your sentiments, Anna, but to whatever extent Burke might have the purest of motives, he has no legitimate occupation and was a garden-variety criminal before he more narrowly focused himself.
		Vachss: If a person has sex with a child not related to them, they are charged with whatever that act is: rape, etc. If the person is closely related to that child, by blood or marriage, they are treated less severely.
		Vachss: I saw early in my career as an investigator such excesses of what humans can do to their own children that it was etched like acid into my soul.

	A reply to Andrew Vachss...
		Apparently, this is a conclusion not entirely welcomed by Andrew Vachss, one who adds considerable rhetoric of his own to the debate surrounding the prevalence of fatal child abuse and neglect.
		Indeed, Vachss would have his reader believe that fatal child abuse poses "a greater threat than war, poverty, hunger, crime, racism and tribalism--even of the genocidal variety--combined." Nothing could be further from the truth.
		Vachss cites as representative of family decay the case of Justina Morales, whose mother held her hand even as her boyfriend killed her.

	CNN.com - Books - Andrew Vachss does not paint pretty pictures - November 9, 2000
		As usual, Vachss introduces readers of his latest novel to a seamy underground with its unique hierarchy whose individuals are identified by their jailhouse tattoos.
		Vachss, whose work is published in 25 languages, never set out to be a fiction writer and has little time for detective fiction written by what he considers amateurs with little regard for authenticity who conjure up ludicrous scenarios.
		Vachss says his work is regularly eyed by Hollywood for possible film projects and writing clinics examine his fiction, but he has no interest in teaching writing.

		Andrew Vachss is the closest thing to a human incarnation of an attack dog you can find.
		While Vachss’ legal practice and public crusades draw plenty of attention, he’s most famous for his tooth-chipping crime fiction.
		Besides hounding molesters through the courts, Vachss has investigated syphillis transmission, run the toughest juvenile prison in Massachusetts and logged a stint as a field worker for the New York City Department of Family Services.

	DarkEcho/HorrorOnline: Andrew Vachss (1999)
		Vachss (and Burke) deal with horrors that some critics have initially called unimaginable -- only to later discover that, as always, Vachss was at Ground Zero with the truth: predatory pedophiles trading kiddie porn over the Net; neo-Nazis; trafficking in human organs; pedophiles gaining employment in day-care centers to molest kids; domestic stalking.
		Read enough Vachss and you begin to feel he writes not only from a profound sense of anger, but from some present-day equivalent of the primordial place from which ancient mythmakers derived their symbols and storytelling power.
		Vachss also employs characters that attain mythological meaning within the context of his world and the "whisper stream" that informs and feeds it.

	Rambles: Andrew Vachss, Two Trains Running
		While Vachss' portrait is of far more than the city in which the tale is set, so too is his subject far more than crime.
		In Vachss' continuing series of novels about Burke, a strong theme is that true families have nothing to do with blood relationships.
		Vachss weaves all their stories together seamlessly, and even engages in some fascinating speculation in the process.

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: Dead and Gone by Andrew Vachss
		Andrew Vachss' books always leave the reader suspended between the excitement and fascination of a well-told tale and genuine horror at the monsters that stalk through them.
		Vachss' writing style is sparse and compelling, and his pacing is superb, in what may be his best novel yet.
		For those who are new to this author, Andrew Vachss has a long background dealing with and working for the victims of child abuse.

	Andrew Vachss: Champion of Children
		Vachss is my hero because he goes after child predators like a wolf after prey, and he always wins.
		Some people refer to Vachss as "that lawyer with the eye patch." He is a lawyer with an eye patch, but that description doesn't say much.
		Vachss is famous for his series of crime novels featuring a character named Burke, but it's his other writing–as an advocate for children–that gets my blood pumping.

	Razorcake - Andrew Vachss
		Vachss: The enemy was undefeatable because the territory couldn't be occupied.
		Vachss: I know more about that than almost anybody because when I hear the term African American, my hair on the back of my neck stands up because I was in the middle, as you probably know, of a genocidal tribal war in Africa.
		Vachss: What happens with racism is that it's become a great source for profiteers because you can explain to any inbred moron that the reason his life is so terrible is because of somebody else, and he'll buy it because he's not very smart but he'll not only buy it, but he'll act on it.

	RandomHouse.ca \| Books \| Born Bad by Andrew Vachss
		Andrew Vachss might have scissored his characters from today's headlines: a stalker prowling around an anonymous high-rise; a serial killer whose transgressions reflect a childhood of hideous abuse; an inner-city gunman who is willing to take out a blockful of victims in order to win a moment of acceptance.
		Andrew Vachss, an attorney in private practice specializing in juvenile justice and child abuse, is the country’s best recognized and most widely sought after spokesperson on crimes against children.
		For ten years, Vachss’ law practice combined criminal defense with child protection, until, with the success of his novels, it segued exclusively into the latter, which is his passion.

	Andrew Vachss, Only Child
		Andrew Vachss's series of novels about Burke, a hardened yet compassionate man who lives outside the law, has been one of the masterpieces, not just of noir fiction, but of all fiction in the past two decades.
		Since 1985's Flood, Burke has been growing and changing as a character, and Vachss has been doing the same as a writer, though his goal has been constant: to expose readers to the reality of young people who have been victimized, and to make those readers angry enough to do something about it.
		As always, it's heavily dependent on the kind of icy dialogue Vachss writes better than anyone else, but though a chill wind blows, Vachss relieves it with the warmth of the unconditional love Burke's family shares with each other, and the glimpses we get of Burke's true humanity.

	Down Here by Andrew Vachss (Site not responding. Last check: )
		He forms an alliance with his “family,” a collection of what Vachss considers highly-unique and weirdly-flawed characters that are so superficially drawn, if they ever came to life, they would not even draw the attention of a Wall Street broker.
		As you can see, Vachss is a master of dialogue and narrative arc; and not to get a reader’s hopes up to high, this was one of the more dramatic scenes.
		And while I agree that child molesters should be publicly drawn-and-quartered, Vachss incessant preaching on the subject reduces his passion and righteousness to something no doubt resembling a lukewarm bowl of Mama’s soup.

	BookPage Interview July 2005: Andrew Vachss
		Andrew Vachss believes there are two versions of the truth in America: what people believe, and what really happened.
		If you are comfortable with the mainstream version of post-World War II American history, which would have us believe that such tragic events as the murder of Emmett Till and the assassination of John F. Kennedy were the isolated acts of madmen, you may not feel the need for further enlightenment.
		Vachss found an ingenious technique to embed his suspicions right into the narrative by breaking the book into bite-size chapters, each with a date and military time code.

	Choice of Evil, by Andrew Vachss
		Vachss is one of those writers I buy in hardcover as a conscious tithing to a good person with a good cause.
		It took two readings to be sure Vachss realizes that this self-styled genius is a pompous, pedantic nerd; that Burke doesn't realize it when we do seems strange.

		If he were the protagonist in one of his own crime novels, Andrew Vachss might be unbelievable: A hard-as-nails lawyer, grizzled and sporting an eyepatch, who’ll only take cases defending child victims of sexual abuse.
		Vachss works tirelessly for his cause, and has a string of achievements to show for it, such as the law mandating national background checks for sex offenders (which was his idea).
		Vachss’ stories are an outgrowth of his activism, and they burn with the same fiery rage he shows in court.

		In this cauterizing thriller, Andrew Vachss's renegade private eye teams up with a lethally gifted vigilante to follow a child's murderer through the catacombs of New York, where every alley is a setup for a mugging and every tenement has something rotten in the basement.
		In "Flood," published in 1985, Andrew Vachss began to publicly address the plight of kidnapped and abused children - way before the era of Amber Alerts and photographs of missing kids on milk cartons.
		Vachss is a lawyer, who specialized in prosecuting child abuse cases.

		Andrew Vachss: For me, every book is a wrestling match; I'm always seeking that unbreakable lock on the opponent (the manuscript).
		Andrew Vachss: I could expound on it for hours and not begin to exhaust the documentation, never mind the topic itself.
		Andrew Vachss: Different sub-societies seem to show a predominance of one type over another, as those subcultures which believe that beating children is religiously mandated," or (as one of many examples) subcultures which practice polygamy are more likely to call child sexual abuse by another name.
