Terminal (Burke Series) Andrew Vachss Unabridged edition

When the former shot-caller of the country?s most feared white supremacist prison gang contacts Burke, he comes with references?and the promise of a huge score. Terminally ill, the ex-con needs major cash to gamble on the long-shot possibility of a cure that?s available only in Switzerland. The one card he has to play is a small-time degenerate who paid for protection when they were in prison together. That professional bottom-feeder claims he personally buried the body of a thirteen-year-old girl who had been raped, tortured, and finally killed by three rich men more than thirty years ago - and that he?s holding irrefutable proof. But such a complicated extortion scheme needs the hand of a specialist crew, so Burke is offered a piece of the action. He and his outlaw family put together a lethal plan. If they can pull it off, Burke gets the two things he lives for: money and revenge. If they can?t, ?terminal? could prove to be more than just one man?s diagnosis.
