Product Description
Synopsis
A serial-killer is picking off the England cricket team, and in Brixton, a vigilante group is hanging dope dealers from lampposts. Chief Inspector Roberts and Detective Sergeant Brant, two tough, corrupt cops, are out to clean up the streets.'
From the Publisher
The first in the ground-breaking 'White Trilogy'
"'A White Arrest' pits a double act of corrupt cops against serial killer The Umpire, who is gradually picking off the England cricket squad. DS Brant is a fat, obnoxious enforcer with a bitter sense of humour and everyone in his South London manor serving his needs. CI Roberts really can't be bothered any more, but the Commissioner's on his back. Both need a 'white arrest' to stop their careers from hitting the skids, but, as the plot grows stickier, it becomes evident that neither are going to get off lightly." - BizArre magazine

"An absolutely cracking read, it rolls along bretahlessly, inviting you to grab on tight and enjoy the ride. This is a fine novel that just happens to be a crime novel." - Time Out
"With his latest, theb stunning, fast moving. 'A White Arrest', he has once again shown himself to be a master of plot, pacing, and character... 'Books In Ireland' once declared, 'If Martin Amis was writing crime novels, this is what he would hope to write'. But he wouldn't be able, let's be honest.' - Galway Advertiser.
The other books in the 'White Trilogy' are 'Taming The Alien' and 'The McDead', both are available from Amazon.co.uk

What a great series!!,
By Jeff "Jeff" (London,England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A White Arrest (Bloodlines) (Paperback)
I recently saw the film "Blitz" with Jason Statham which I loved so much I saw it twice..I bought the book to see what they based it on, and was thoroughly enthralled by it.Tension and humour in equal measures.I loved every page and read it in no time.As Brant would say"If you love Ed McBain's 87th precinct police procedurals ya will luv this".Buy it and you will not be disappointed.I am now in the process of buying the other novels in the series.

FAST MOVING ACTION,
By sabu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A White Arrest (Bloodlines) (Paperback)
This is the first book of the White Trilogy series by Ken Bruen. We are introduced to Insp. Brant + his boss, Roberts. From the opening page to the last it's a non-stop thrill ride as the cops are after two different serial killers. One is murdering cricket players while the other is killing dopers, rapists, etc. in a vigilante style with each murder more horrible than the previous one. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
