An ex-cop chases after a relic and a rogue priest: "They don't come much tougher than Ken Bruen's Irish roughneck, Jack Taylor." -
The New York Times Book Review
Jack Taylor is recovering from a mistaken medical diagnosis and a failed suicide attempt. Now that he's going to live after all, he's going to need money, so using his ex-Garda credentials he manages to land a job as a night-shift security guard.
But his Ukrainian boss has Jack in mind for a bit of off-the-books work. He wants Jack to find what some claim to be the first true book of heresy,the famously blasphemous "Red Book," currently in the possession of a rogue priest hiding out in Galway after fleeing a position at the Vatican. Despite Jack's distaste for priests of any stripe, the money is too good to turn down. Then Em, the many-faced woman who's had a vise on Jack's heart and mind for the past two years, reappears and turns out to be entangled with the story ofthe Red Book, too-leading Jack down ever more mysterious and lethal pathways-in this "dark and often hilarious" series by an author who's won the Shamus, Macavity, and Barry Awards and been an Edgar Award finalist (
Toronto Star).
"Bruen is in top form, and, although everything Taylor touches seems to turn to ash, he embodies such humanity that readers will be unable to resist rooting for him." -
Publishers Weekly(starred review)
"The most mannered prose since the glory days of James Ellroy." -
