Reviews

"Ireland's version of Scotland's Ian Rankin" - Publisher's Weekly "Bruen uses a clipped, telegraphic style - reminiscent of James Ellroy's 'White Jazz' ... he infuses his story with a brand of humour that is alternately sly, bizarre, ribald and very dark" Booklist (USA) "Irish writer Ken Bruen is the finest purveyor of intelligent Brit-noir" Tina Jackson, The Big Issue (London)
