    [synopsis] => A portrait of the PI from the Shamus Award winner who created him: "They don't come much tougher than Ken Bruen's Irish roughneck, Jack Taylor." -The New York Times Book Review



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 (The Philadelphia Inquirer).



"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 [sic] without ice, and for pregnant one-word paragraphs." -Kirkus Reviews



"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." -Booklist



"The Godfather of the modern Irish crime novel." -The Irish Times 



"[Taylor's] voice is wry and bittersweet, but somehow always hopeful." -The Seattle Times
