About this audiobook
While doing extended time for killing a fellow prisoner, Wesley meets Carmine Trentoni in a New York state prison. Carmine's life sentence hasn't cut him off from his outside sources, and he sees great potential in Wesley to carry out his revenge. Wesley emerges from prison prepared to be the perfect hitman: calculating, deadly, and driven by money. On his release, Wesley follows Carmine's directions to locate a Mr. Petraglia. Pet and Wesley set up shop in Brooklyn, and execute their assignments with finesse - and occasionally, more explosives than are strictly called for. But Wesley isn't satisfied with his low-profile lot, and sets out to make a mark on the city that everyone will notice - which he does, in a shocking, dynamite conclusion.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think this is actually the first book Vachss wrote but could not get it published. I think Wesley is probably one of the uniquest characters in fiction and in this book we find out how he was trained, in prison, and what he did when he got out. Plenty of action, much violence which is to be expected and a good thriller as he takes on the mob and finds his place.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5There was a time when five new users signed up at iblist.com and all rated every Andrew Vachss title as a 10. Suddenly, Vachss (whom I had never heard of) was showing up as the top rated author. So I decided to find out about this author who inspired such loyalty from at least a small group of readers, and in exploring the Vachss website, I came accross this early book of his which was available to download as a free e-book. "Ahah!" I thought, "let's see what I've been missing." "Not much" is the answer, at least from what I got out of this book. This is the story of the evolution of psychopathic Wesley from small time crook to murderer to hit-man to terrorist. It is moderately suspenseful, but far from compelling. The characters are neither likable nor believable. The suggestion in the afterward that A Bomb Built in Hell was somehow eerily prescient of the Columbine tragedy was misguided to the point of being offensive.
