About The Author

Ken Bruen was born in Galway, Ireland. After turning down a place at RADA, and completing a doctorate in Metaphysics, he spent 25 years as an English teacher in Africa, Japan, South East Asia and South America. An unscheduled stint in a Brazilian prison where he suffered physical and mental abuse spurred him to write and, after a brief spell teaching in London, he returned to Galway, where he now lives with his daughter.

Review Quote

Jack Taylor has become one of today's most interesting shamuses

Brilliant… Bruen's Galway is certainly not Bord Failte-approved, but once again he has delivered a disturbing story that casts a very cold eye on the state of our nation
