"I was drowning in a sea of mediocre writing and half-arsed
attempts at ersatz amorality when The Hackman Blues sideswiped me
like the worst kind of mugger. The sheer strength of the prose
knocked me to the ground, battered and bruised... and yet I found
myself pleading for more. The Hackman Blues is British noir at its
most brutal and honest, populated by characters you could never
love but find yourself unable to leave. This is the book that
reminded why I love crime fiction... And know The Hackman Blues is
the book that will change the way you read crime fiction, that will
show up most other writers trading in the darkness of the soul as
rank amateurs compared to Ken Bruen. This is noir. This is Bruen.
This is The Hackman Blues." -- Russel McLean, author of The Good
Son and The Lost Sister
