In the Galway Silence

fullDescription

After much tragedy and violence, Jack Taylor has at long last landed at contentment. Of course, he still knocks back too much Jameson and dabbles in uppers, but he has a new woman in his life, a freshly bought apartment, and little sign of trouble on the horizon. Once again, trouble comes to him—this time in the form of a wealthy Frenchman who wants Jack to investigate the double-murder of his twin sons. Jack is meanwhile roped into looking after his girlfriend's nine-year-old son and is in for a shock with the appearance of a character out of his past. The plot is one big chess game, and all of the pieces seem to be moving at the behest of one dangerously mysterious player, a vigilante called "Silence"...because he's the last thing his victims will ever hear. This is Ken Bruen at his most darkly humorous and most lovably bleak as he shows us the meaning behind a proverb of his own design—"the Irish can abide almost anything save silence."

     August 13, 2018
     Powered by nonstop action and acerbic wit, Edgar-finalist Bruen’s 14th novel featuring ex-cop Jack Taylor (after 2017’s The Ghosts of Galway) is—like the pints of Guinness that the saga’s existentially tortured, pill-popping antihero consumes on a daily basis—unfathomably dark. When the woman he cares for, a speech therapist named Marion, leaves Ireland to attend a conference in the States, so too does any semblance of stability or contentment in Taylor’s life. He’s asked to investigate the horrific murder of a man’s adult twin sons, two morally bankrupt Menendez brothers wannabes; Marion’s bratty nine-year old son is abducted by a pedophile; his ex-wife shows up with a daughter he didn’t know he had; and a serial killer known as the Silence begins a deadly chess game in which he’s an unwilling participant. Bloody chaos ensues. Readers who can get past the decidedly nonlinear and at times downright muddled narrative will find a deeply flawed but endear-
     ing character whose suffering is both tragic and transformative. Agent: Lukas Ortiz, Philip G. Spitzer Literary Agency.
