Everybody Pays by Andrew H. Vachss, ISBN 0375707433

A collection of stories journeys into the heart of evil as it introduces such characters as a blues musician on the run, a team of urban mercenaries on a mission in Central America, and a martial artist struggling to be true to his name...'Vachss is a contemporary master.'--'The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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.

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.
