A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Where Bruen really scores is in his intimate explorations of Taylor's character, Galway City and of modern Ireland. Using language like a weapon, his humour stops the reader drowning in rain, Jameson's and self-pity. Less a whodunit that a what-to-do-about-it, this is a compelling portrait of a haunted man." (Guardian)

"Bruen's writing is as bleak and spare as Taylor's take on modern Ireland, but you'll end up hooked on this series of home-grown, gritty crime stories as Jack Taylor is on Ireland." (Irish Independent)

"I cannot recommend this series highly enough - if you like stark reality, if you can handle one man making his own decisions about his life ... then do yourself a favour and read Cross." (Eurocrime.com)

"Vintage Ken Bruen. Clipped prose and mordant humour are coupled to a plot that's just about as violent as anything he has ever written. Bruen has the uncanny ability to describe the most touching of moments with heart-rending effectiveness and lyrical beauty." (Mean Streets)

"Ken Bruen is one of Ireland's leading crime writers...this is snappy, knowing writing." (SUNDAY EXPRESS)

Quatrième de couverture :

LET US PREY

A boy has been crucified in Galway city.

People are shocked; the Irish Church is scandalized. No further action is taken.

When the sister of the murdered boy is burned alive, PI Jack Taylor decides to take matters into his own hands.

Taylor's investigations take him to some old city haunts where he encounters ghosts - living and dead. But what he eventually finds surpasses even his darkest imaginings...

Cross is a terrifying, uncompromising road-trip to Hell, and back. Do not expect to put it down unscathed.
