Product Description

Synopsis
BRANT IS BACK! For the south-east London police Squad, it's rough, tough, dirty business, as usual. The Vixen - the most sensuous, crazy, female serial-killer ever - is masterminding a series of lethal explosions. She is dispatching her own gang and the cops, and has more than a passing interest in WPC Falls...Meanwhile...Porter-Nash is facing a serious health problem, nothing to do with his being gay, but everything to do with needles. PC McDonald finds himself looking down the wrong end of a .38...The career of a new addition to the Squad, WPC Andrews starts spectacularly but, as usual, she is about to discover that dynamite doesn't just mean explosive substances...Superintendent Brown is close to a coronary, and arresting the wrong man in a blaze of publicity is only the beginning of his problems...If the Squad survives this incendiary installment, they'll do so with barely a cop left standing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taut Tight (But Intelligent) Action, 25 Nov 2003
This review is from: Vixen (Brant) (Paperback)
Any new Bruen thriller is an event and this continuation of the White Trilogy/Blitz series is no exception. What I love about his books are the way Bruen gets under the skin of the characters without indulging in pages and pages of excess fatty dialogue and verbose descriptions. If you like your fiction short and snappy, then look no further: Bruen never uses ten words when one would do and this helps keep up a frenetic pace. Here a female bomber (aided by two awestruck male assistants) is after a huge ransom and the cops - especially Brant - don't like the way she's going about it. But the cops have a few problems of their own and the reader can only guess at how many survive the book and how. Brilliant stuff.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not all that foxy, 13 Nov 2003
This review is from: Vixen (Brant) (Paperback)
Picking up where last year’s Blitz left off, we once again join the ranks of southeast London’s ‘finest’ as The Vixen – a demented, sensual, and (in an ‘interesting’ twist,) female bomber lays waste to the nation’s capital.
Seducing a pair of inept brothers into doing her dirty work, she holds the city to ransom with absolutely no intention of sharing the profits. Meanwhile, the police are at each other’s throats, where backstabbing, whoring and heart attacks do their best to impede the investigation.
“Brant is back!” boasts the cover, which prepared me for some corruption a la Irvine Welsh’s Filth, but I have to say I was disappointed. For me, Bruen’s characters aren’t as real as Welsh’s, whilst the story never seems as gruesome as it believes itself to be. That said, Bruen definitely has a knack for rapid-fire storytelling with an abundance of incendiary devices. Entertaining as hell, but not half as nasty.
