Jack Taylor
ByPublisher Description
In this short work, Edgar Award finalist Ken Bruen—"a Celtic Dashiell Hammett"—takes us deeper into his character Jack Taylor, formerly of Ireland's police force, the Garda Síochána, now a living-on-the-edge private detective (
).
"Jack, as ja series know all too well, has a gift for blarney, for plain speaking, for poetic melancholy, for downing shots of Jameson's [
] without ice, and for pregnant one-word paragraphs." —
"Bruen's storytelling style, a stream-of-consciousness mix of prose and verse, strips away Galway's tourist-board facade and offers a darkly comic social commentary." —
"The Godfather of the modern Irish crime novel." —
"[Taylor's] voice is wry and bittersweet, but somehow always hopeful." —
