Praise for Ken Bruen's writing:

"If Martin Amis was writing crime novels, this is what he would hope to write." - Books in Ireland

"The most startling and original crime novel of the decade." - GQ

"Bruen's ability to keep the reader's interest in an unsympathetic character merits comparisons to Thompson's The Killer Inside Me" - Jon L Breen, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (**** review for The Hackman Blues)

"....a very stylish writer. Violence, drugs, double-crosses and emotional betrayal all feature against a background of sleazy London hotels and warehouses, and Bruen keeps the tension agonizingly high throughout. Very, very good." - Tribune Magazine
