A hit man stalks his mark at a race track. A sociopath crosses every moral boundary to become a published author. An ex-mercenary obsessively defends his 'perimeter' from a dangerous interloper. A man for hire grudgingly accepts help from a teenage girl to track an online predator. In a dystopian future, young people struggle for survival underground, forming themselves into vicious gangs with only the graffiti of the 'last journalists' accepted as truth. Andrew Vachss collects twenty tight, powerful stories - all from the past decade of his career, including some now published for the first time - along with an original screenplay. Together, they form Mortal Lock, a searing portrait of the criminal underworld, with both its depravity and humanity on display.

Andrew Vachss is a lawyer who represents children and youths exclusively. His many books include the Burke series and two collections of short stories, and his work has appeared in Parade, Antaeus, Esquire, Playboy, and The New York Times, among other publications. A native New Yorker, he divides his time between the city of his birth and the Pacific Northwest.

Natalie Ross has narrated and directed over 150 audio titles. Her reading of The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate won the 'Best Children's' title at the 2011 APA Audie Awards, as well as an Audiofile Magazine Earphones Award. Her work has been featured in many 'Best of the Year' lists, and she was named 'Favorite Female Narrator' and 'Favorite Dual Narrators' (with Phil Gigante) in 2011 and 2012. In addition to audiobooks, Natalie is an accomplished playwright and theatre actress.

Phil Gigante is an Audie Award winning narrator who has won over a dozen Earphones Awards. He has narrated and directed more than two hundred and fifty audiobooks and was twice named a Best Voice in Mystery and Suspense by Audiofile Magazine. He has been named a Best Male Narrator in the categories of romance, science fiction, militaria, and mystery/suspense as well as a Favorite Dual Narrator (along with Natalie Ross). He makes his home in the Midwest.
