As New in New jacket. Size: 6.25 x 9.5 x 7/8; Type: Book 2004/Stated 1st U.S. Edition/1st Printing/Unclipped Dustjacket/244 PagesThis novel is the second in the "Jack Taylor" series. When Jack blew town at the end of "The Guards", his alcoholism was a distant memory, and sober dreams of a new life in London were shining in his eyes. So much for new beginnings. Before long, he's sunk into his old patterns. One day, a big Gypsy walks into the bar and changes matters with a simple request. Jack knows the look of helplessness, resolve and rage in the man's eyes, and agrees to help. There is a handwritten name at the upper FEP. Otherwise, the book is in excellent condition.

Bruen gives us another winner with "Killing." This time, he offers a glimpse into the culture of Tinkers, their struggle with being outcasts in Irish society and the efforts of Bruen's flawed protagonaist Jack Taylor to find justice for a particularly lurid murder. A lovely tangle of despair, heroic effort and resolution that brings some small satisfaction to a dark corner of the soul, if not the law, is a hallmark of Ken Bruen's tales. Read them all.
