{"subtitle": "A Burke Novel (Burke)", "description": {"type": "/type/text", "value": "\"You know why we hate you? Not because you don't know what we know, but because, if you did, you wouldn't give a damn.So I'm sitting here, waiting to commit extortion, and planning a lot worse. I'm what you'd call a criminal. That's why I'll never be you. And I'm proud of it.\" --from TerminalWhen 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 only 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 not, \"terminal\" could prove to be more than just one man's diagnosis. Terminal is a blistering thriller that forces Burke back in time--to keep a blood-commitment to a brother from his prison past, and to avenge the \"cold-cased\" rape-murder of a teenage girl.From the Hardcover edition."}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2019-07-22T12:04:55.887215"}, "title": "Terminal", "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2009-12-10T22:19:31.730956"}, "covers": [1819079], "subject_places": ["New York (State)", "New York (N.Y.)", "New York"], "subjects": ["Mystery", "Private investigators", "Girls", "Crimes against", "Fiction", "Burke (Fictitious character)", "Extortion"], "latest_revision": 8, "key": "/works/OL8036353W", "authors": [{"type": "/type/author_role", "author": {"key": "/authors/OL2675335A"}}], "type": {"key": "/type/work"}, "revision": 8}
