Gather The Hackman Blues Developed By Ken Bruen Contained In Copy

violent, darkly funny, and written in the author's trademark staccato like style this was a good early work by Bruen though he definitely got better with later books.
THE HACKMAN BLUES Okay
Ken Bruennd book
Brady is a gay, bipolar, tough guy, criminaldetective excon, He is asked to find a white girl in Brixton, which sounds simple, but causes all kinds of complications,

I am a huge fan of Bruens more recent works The Guards, The Killing of the Tinkers, The Magdalen Murders, but you can really tell this is hisnd book and he hasnt found his voice as yet.

Typical Bruen, fast paced, enjoyable, violent, rec via bookmooch A job of pure simplicity, Find a white girl in Brixton, Piece of cake. What I should have done is doubled my medication and lit a candle to St Jude maybe a lot of candles, Add in a lethal excon, an Irish builder obsessed with Gene Hackman, the biggest funeral Brixton has ever seen, and what you

get is the Blues like they've never been sung before.
Short novel with characters straight out of a Guy Richie movie, A light read for an afternoon on a subbed, I loved the nods to music and film scripts I am sure there is more to Ken Bruen than this light fluff, Ken Bruen at his most hard boiled, Only Bruen can do this, . .
