Bruen's unique style, which looks like concrete poetry on the page, is merely the beginning of his powerful works, led by the Jack Taylor series. In Taylor we have in Irish crime fiction the first really tough ex-cop who drinks whiskey as if Prohibition will be announced in 24 hours, who dresses like a bum, whose sense of humor is visceral, thinks political correctness is an illness, and whose sense of justice is his own -- fair and honest but not identical to the legal system. In Green Hell, he goes after a highly respected professor who savagely preys on female students. His dedication to vigilante justice is more than matched by Emerald, a young goth who takes even Jack by surprise with her efficiency and immediacy."--From publisher's website. | |
