Haiku

Ho was a revered sensei, but when his dismissive arrogance caused the death of a beloved student, he renounced not only his possessions but also his role as a master, and now roams the streets in search of a way to atone. Drawn by his presence, a group forms around him. This searing new novel from the author of the acclaimed Burke series follows this band of homeless outcasts on a journey to recover what each has lost.

“[Andrew Vachss’s] New York . . . is not borrowed from anybody, and it shimmers on the page as gaudily and scarily as it does on the streets.”
—New York

“Vachss gives such a smooth ride, it is easy to forget someone is driving.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Compelling and challenging . . . [Vachss takes us] not simply into the mean streets but into a subterranean nightmare.”
—The Washington Post Book World

“Vachss’s reverence for storytelling is evident in the blunt beauty of his language.”
—Chicago Sun-Times

“Andrew Vachss continues to write the most provocative novels around.”
—Martha Grimes
