Información sobre este eBook
A pair of rough cops hunts for a career-making arrest in this first novel of the "hip, violent and funny" trilogy set in Southeast London ( Publishers Weekly).
After four decades at the precinct, and close to forcible retirement, all London's Chief Inspector Roberts has to show for it is a hateful daughter, a faithless wife, and a dwindling bank account. With his partner, the bullying Irish Detective Sergeant Brant, Roberts is still looking for every cop's badge of honor: the White Arrest—that career-changing bust that could make them chat show heroes. Or least wipe their dirty slates clean. And they have a lot to work with right now . . .
A racist Death Wish–inspired street gang is lynching drug dealers from Brixton lampposts. And in the quiet suburb of Balham, a bat-wielding lunatic has been bashing in the skulls of a schoolboys' cricket team. With any luck Roberts and Brant will make the front page—by any means necessary.
With two unforgettable—and arguably irredeemable—tough London cops, award-winning author Ken Bruen again proves he's "become the crime novelist to read" (George Pelecanos).

Acerca del autor
Ken Bruen (b. 1951) is one of the most prominent Irish crime writers of the last two decades. Born in Galway, he spent twenty-five years traveling the world before he began writing in the mid 1990s. As an English teacher, Bruen worked in South Africa, Japan, and South America, where he once spent a short time in a Brazilian jail. He has two long-running series: one starring a disgraced former policeman named Jack Taylor, the other a London police detective named Inspector Brant. Praised for their sharp insight into the darker side of today's prosperous Ireland, Bruen's novels are marked by grim atmosphere and clipped prose. Among the best known are his White Trilogy (1998–2000) and The Guards (2001), the Shamus award–winning first novel in the Jack Taylor series. Bruen continues to live and work in Galway.
