5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent thriller you will need a brain to appreciate, 15 Sep 2005
This early Ken Bruen standalone thriller ranks as one of his most interesting and rivetting books. You can almost taste and smell the atmosphere of the area of South-East London in which it is set. The menace, the despair, the fear ooze out of every page like poisonous gas. Start 'Hackman Blues' and be prepared to finish it in one sitting, but be aware that you are about to embark on an emotional rollercoaster ride that'll leave you drained but a more human being than you were before. The anti-hero, a psychopathic criminal doing his best to earn a dishonest crust is dragged into a nightmare of violence and deception even he can't comprehend. A modern day masterpiece in the vein of Jim Thompson, Derek Raymond and Gerald Kersh. And if you don't know who the last three are, get ordering on amazon!

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Parts Don't Quite Gel, 30 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Some interesting possibilities-gay, bipolar, tough guy, criminal detective as lead, Brixton-centered plot, oddball crime boss-don't really gel into anything that interesting. The con is asked to find a white girl in Brixton, which sounds simple, but naturally results in all kinds of complications. The whole bipolar thing wears thin quickly, and the style isn't quite on. Between this and the rather boring Rilke On Black, I'm unlikely to try anything by Bruen again.
