#8 Jack Taylor series - Noir/PI

Jack Taylor, hard drinking & drugging PI, years ago kicked out of the Garda, is refused entry to America as he tries to leave Ireland. Taylor's hopes of a better life in the U.S. His violent past as a PI in Galway have caught up to him.

Jack meets a stranger is the airport bar, Mr. K, who seems to know a lot about him. Bruen steers his hardboiled PI into supernatural territory for the first time in book 8. Taylor has attracted the attention of Lucifer himself.

The life-and-death stakes here are breathtaking. Bruen is such a superb and talented author, Taylor such a perfect target for The Devil himself, that I bought this strange and sudden twist completely. Bravo, Mr. Bruen!

I was thrilled to discover my library finally has books 8-12 in this favorite series.
