Acclaimed Irish crime writer Ken Bruen has won numerous
awards for his hard-charging, dark thrillers, which have
been translated into ten languages. In Headstone, an elderly
priest is nearly beaten to death and a special-needs boy is
brutally attacked. Evil has many guises and Jack Taylor has
encountered most of them. But nothing before has ever truly
terrified him until he confronts an evil coterie named
Headstone, who have committed a series of random, insane,
violent crimes in Galway, Ireland.
Most would see a headstone as a marker of the dead, but this
organization seems like it will act as a death knell to
every aspect of Jack’s life. Jack’s usual allies, Ridge and
Stewart, are also in the line of terror. An act of appalling
violence alerts them to the sleeping horror, but this
realization may be too late, as Headstone barrels along its
deadly path right to the center of Jack’s life and the heart
of Galway. A terrific read from a writer called “a Celtic
Dashiell Hammett,” Headstone is an excellent addition to the
Jack Taylor series (Philadelphia Inquirer)
