Re: Andrew Vachs\' Burke novels
I've read most of the Burke books; I got tired and quit a few years ago. The one with the underground domestic shelter and terrorists was the last one I read. They're a bit comic booky for me. That being said there is usually at least one moment and sometimes many more that is just heart breakingly real and well written. My favorite book of his is not from the Burke series but Shella, which again has some overdrawn comic book type stuff in it but it's a well conceived story with a satisfying ending. He portrays emotionally damaged people very well and has richer characters than most crime fiction. His book of short stories, Born Bad, is also good.
