Ken Bruen is a singular voice in crime fiction with his ear for lilting Irish prose and his taste for the kind of gallows humor heard only at the foot of the gallows" (New York Times Book Review). InThe Ghosts of Galway, he brings those elegiac talents to bear on a case involving a famously blasphemous red book and Bruen'apos;s equally profane antihero Jack Taylor. As well-versed in politics, pop culture, and crime fiction as he is ill-fated in life, Jack Taylor is recovering from a mistaken medical diagnosis and a failed suicide attempt. In need of money, and with former cop on his resume, Jack has been hired 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 Red Book, currently in the possession of a rogue priest who is hiding out in Galway after fleeing a position at the Vatican. Despite Jack'apos;s distaste for priests of any stripe, the money is too good to turn down. Em, the many-faced woman who has had a vise on Jack'apos;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. It seems all sides are angling for a piece of Jack Taylor, but asThe Ghosts of Galway twists toward a violent end, he is increasingly plagued by ghosts-by the disposable and disposed of in a city filled with as much darkness as the deepest corners of Jack'apos;s own mind." | The Ghosts Of Galway by Ken Bruen, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
