The Devil by Ken Bruen

The Devil by Ken Bruen

America - the land of opportunity, a place where economic prosperity beckons: - but not for PI Jack Taylor, who's just been refused entry. Jack resumes his old life in Galway. But when he's called to investigate the frenzied murder of a student, he remembers an encounter with an over-friendly stranger in the airport bar. A stranger who seemed to know rather more than he should about Jack. After several more murders and too many encounters to be coincidental, Jack believes he may have met his nemesis. But why has he been chosen? And could he really be dealing with the Devil himself?

Jack Taylor has become one of today's most interesting shamuses * The Times *
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 * Irish Independent *
A fast-paced tale of black arts and white lies * RTE Guide *
Unfailingly electric * The Herald *
The perfect antidote to any dreary days on your holiday, The Devil will spice things up in no time * Galway Now *

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.
