Product Description

Review

"'Very nasty, very funny' Big Issue 'If this thriller was any more hard-boiled you'd be able to paint a face on it and roll it down the hill... Noir at its grungiest' Good Book Guide 'Fast-paced, tough and explosive - you may need a calming bromide standing by' Irish Times"

Product Description

She’s hot, well read, and absolutely mad—and she won’t let him go

Bank robber Cooper picks her up at the supermarket, where he spies her shoplifting and warns her that the store detective is watching her. She puts the stolen food back, and he buys her lunch. It’s the worst mistake he’s ever made.
 
What this pretty young American girl is doing in South London is a mystery to him. Her name is Cassie, and she acts sane until they get home. She’s normal as he takes her clothes off, normal for everything that follows, normal until she tells him that now that he’s touched her, he can never have another woman. He thinks it’s a joke until he wakes up and finds her note, which explains that she drugged him and left with his pistol and some of the money he’s made holding up banks. Only death will keep her away, so death it must be.

One of Bruen's Finer Shorter Works 8 Jan 2010
By Lawrence D. Zeilinger - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This short little book has all the refinement that the new master of neo-noir, Irishman Ken Bruen, has brought to his considerable body of work. I've read almost all of it now and never have been disappointed. He is one of those rare authors whom once you begin reading one of his books, you'll probably try to read in a single sitting.
The protagonist in "Her Last Call to Louis MacNeice" is a reference to the anti-hero protagonist (as invariably Bruen's central chararacter always is) who after getting out of prison meets a real dingbat of a woman he befriends but proves to be nothing but bad news. Originally published about a decade ago, this little gem has finally made its way across the pond. Don't worry about reading the author's books in any certain order, except perhaps for the two trilogies. Very highly recommended. Bruen is a master of his craft and sets the benchmark for noir in the new millenium.

To bide time between Taylor and Brant, this one more than works... 30 Nov 2010
By Scott Hess - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'd devoured the Jack Taylor series but was loathe to start the Brant stuff until I could get 'em all in order. So while looking for something/anything standalone by Bruen to feed my appetite for his unique brand of dark literary Irish noir, I stumbled upon this one at Posnan Books in NYC (the finest little bookseller in the whole damn city, located smack-dab in Grand Central). I was not disappointed. Better than his TOWER collaboration with Coleman, and just as good or better than the Taylor stuff, this is vintage Bruen you can down in a sitting (or a swig). For the initiated, for sure, but surely worth the money/time. Recommended.
