Andrew Vachss (1942-2021) was the author of the eighteen-book Burke novels, along with the Cross and Aftershock series. As a lawyer specialising in child abuse cases, Vachss created Burke to express the frustration he felt over society's abandonment and abuse of those for whom it is responsible. He had gone on to write other fiction inspired by this subject, ranging from graphic novels to plays, including tales written in the Batman and Predator universes.

His wife Alice Vachss is a former sex crimes prosecutor and author of a non-fiction book that details her experiences.
