A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

'You don't want to meet Jack Taylor in person, ever, but if you're a big crime fan, you do want to read every book he features in.' Irish Times

Evil has many guises, and Jack Taylor is personally acquainted with most of them. But nothing has ever truly terrified him - until he encounters a group called Headstone.

An elderly priest is beaten, a special-needs boy brutally attacked.

As another appalling act of violence alerts Jack to the horror spreading through Galway City, he realizes he must fight back.

But to do so, and win, he knows he must relinquish the remaining shreds of what makes him human.

And he's not sure that even he has got what it takes . . .

From the author of recently released films Blitz and London Boulevard:

'Ken Bruen is finally getting his due.' Observer

'Brilliant.' Irish Independent

'A compelling portrait of a haunted man.' Guardian

Présentation de l'éditeur

Some people help the less fortunate. Others kill them.

Evil has many guises. Jack Taylor has encountered most of them but nothing before has ever truly terrified him until a group called Headstone rears its ugly head. An elderly priest is viciously beaten until nearly dead. A special needs boy is brutally attacked. A series of seemingly random, insane, violent events even has the Guards shaken.

Most would see a headstone as a marker of the dead, but this coterie of evil intends to act as a death knell to every aspect of Jack's life as an act of appalling violence alerts him to the horror enveloping Galway.

Accepting the power of Headstone, Jack realizes that in order to fight back he must relinquish the remaining shreds of what has made him human - knowledge that may have come too late to prevent an act of such ferocious evil that the whole country would be changed forever - and in the worst way.

With awful clarity, Jack knows that not only might he be powerless to stop it but that he may not have the grit needed to even face it.
