Their ring leader is Jericho, a psychotic girl from Galway who is grieving the loss of her lover, and who will force Jack to confront some personal trauma from his past.As sharp and sardonic as it is starkly bleak and violent, Galway Girl shows master raconteur Ken Bruen at his best: lyrical, brutal, and ceaselessly suspenseful.Praise for Galway Girl: ‘A bleak, gripping slice of noir Irish life… As good a read as you’ll come across this year’ IRISH INDEPENDENT’A surreal mind and an unusual writing style… It shouldn’t work, but it does, delightfully’ THE TIMES’The Godfather of the modern Irish crime novel’ IRISH TIMES
