Jack Taylor, A disgraced ex-cop in Galway, has slid further down the slope of despair. After a year in London he returns to his home town of Galway with a leather coat and a coke habit. Someone is systematically slaughtering young travellers and dumping their bodies in the city centre. Even in the state he's in, Jack Taylor has an uncanny ability to know where to look, what questions to ask, and with the aid of an English policeman, apparently solves the case. Now he stands poised on the precipice of the most devastating decision of his career, while at the same time a rare opportunity of real and enduring love also materialises. As with The Guards, the city of Galway dances, jeers, consoles, threatens, entices, near kills and yet continues to be the ultimate ground of Jack Taylor's transcendence, all he understands of heaven and hell.

Seller's Description:
New. No dust jacket as issued. Signed by author. 304 p. Brandon Originals S...Audience: General/trade. Signed by Ken Bruen on the title page. A Trade paperback original. First edition in near mint condition (very minor rubbing). Otherwise new/unread. Ships bubble wrapped and in a box.
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.
