Advance Praise for Ken Bruen and "The Guards
""The Guards blew me away. It's dark, funny, and moving--just for
starters. With a sharp eye and a lyrical voice, Ken Bruen takes us
on a powerful odyssey through the mean streets of Galway, straight
into the Irish heart. Bruen's tale is a potent draft of desire and
hopelessness, conviction and surrender, inadvertent heroism and
unexpected grace. This is mystery writing of a high order."--T.
Jefferson Parker, author of "Black Water and "Silent Joe
""The Guards is a wonderful book, wrenching and real, fast, funny
and wise in every sense. Why the hell haven't I heard of Ken Bruen
before? He's a terrific writer and The Guards is one of the most
mesmerizing works of crime fiction I've ever read. I'm going to
read the rest of his work now, so don't bother me for a while. And
when he's got a new one, send it to me quick. This guy is the real
thing."--James W. Hall, author of "Blackwater Sound
""The Guards is raw, hard, bitter, and amazing. It's got that
ancient feel to it, as of a primal story being retold with a fine,
careless Irish swagger. It's as if Bruen made up his mind to tell
us this story whether we wanted to hear it or not. Oh, we do. For
sure."--Jon A. Jackson, author of "Badger Games
""The Guards is an astounding novel, a poetic account of a
desperation as deep and cold as the North Sea, retribution, and
resurrection. It's so good I can't think of it as a crime novel.
It's a fine book with some crimes."--James Crumley, author of" The
Final Country
""The Guards is a pint and a half of perfect book. Make it this
year's specialty of the house."--Boston Teran, author of "The
Prince of Deadly Weapons
""The Guardskicked my ass--it's up there with the best. If Elmore
Leonard got together with James Joyce to write a Spencer novel,
this is what you'd get!"--David Means, author of "Assorted Fire
