by Author Ken Bruen
Headstone (2011)
Acclaimed Irish crime writer Ken Bruen has won numerous awards for his hard-charging, dark thrillers, which have been translated into ten languages. In Headstone, an elderly priest is nearly beaten to death and a special-needs boy is brutally attacked. Evil has many guises and Jack Taylor has enc...
Cross (2008)
Jack Taylor brings death and pain to everyone he loves. His only hope of redemption - his surrogate son, Cody - is lying in the hospital in a coma.

In his sober moments Jack aspires to become Ireland’s best pri...
The Magdalen Martyrs (2006)
В первой книге Джек Тейлор бухал по-черному, во второй – сидел на коксе, в третьей – начал употреблять вещества и теперь окончательно потерял связь с реальностью.

The Dramatist (2007)
If I learned anything from reading Ken Bruen’s The Dramatist, it’s that Ireland is a crap hole. Not really, but that’s the way it seems after reading this Noir-ish mystery novel.

Der Autor Ken Bruen war mir...
Priest (2006)
Kněz od K.BruenaAnotace- Nové Irsko se utápí v penězích a vlastní chamtivosti. Lidé přestali dávno hledat útěchu u katolické církve. Ale vražda otce Joyce, jemuž ve zpovědnici galwayského kostela kdosi usekl hlavu, otřese i těmi nejotrlejšími Iry. Jack Taylor sám sebe vždy považoval za beznadějný...
Jack Taylor geht zum Teufel (2012)
Jack Taylor's world is the underbelly, no doubt, moving among the detritus of society, including Taylor himself. Bruen explores a lot of darkness in this series, but in this one, he casts the Devil himself, and the treatment gets too literal for me. A metaphorical figure of the arch demon would h...
