When his girlfriend, Crystal Beth, is gunned down at a gay rights rally in Central Park, Burke, the underground man-for-hire and expert hunter of predators, vows vengeance.nbsp;nbsp;But someone beats him to the task: a shadowy killer who calls himself Homo Erectus and who seems determined to wipe gay bashers from the face of the earth.nbsp;nbsp;As the killer's body count rises, most citizens are horrified, but a few see him as a hero, and they hire Burke to track him down...and help him escape. In Choice of Evil, Burke is forced to confront his most harrowing mystery: the mind of an obsessive serial killer.nbsp;nbsp;And soon the emotionally void method behind the killer's madness becomes terrifyingly familiar, reminding Burke of his childhood partner, Wesley, the ice-man assassin who never missed, even when the target was himself.nbsp;nbsp;Has Wesley come back from the dead?nbsp;nbsp;The whisper-stream says so.nbsp;nbsp;And the truth may just challenge Burke's very sense of reality.nbsp;nbsp;Expertly plotted, addictive, enthralling, Choice of Evil is Andrew Vachss' most haunting tale to date.
