{"product_id":"in-the-galway-silence-9780802128829","title":"In the Galway Silence","description":"Ken Bruen has been called \"hard to resist, with his aching Irish heart, silvery tongue, and bleak noir sensibility\" (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e). His prose is as characteristically sharp as his outlook in the latest Jack Taylor novel, \u003ci\u003eIn the Galway Silence\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cp\u003e After much tragedy and violence, Jack Taylor has at long last landed at contentment. Of course, he still knocks back too much Jameson and dabbles in uppers, but he has a new woman in his life, a freshly bought apartment, and little sign of trouble on the horizon. Once again, trouble comes to him, this time in the form of a wealthy Frenchman who wants Jack to investigate the double-murder of his twin sons. Jack is meanwhile roped into looking after his girlfriend's nine-year-old son, and is in for a shock with the appearance of a character out of his past. The plot is one big chess game and all of the pieces seem to be moving at the behest of one dangerously mysterious player: a vigilante called \"Silence,\" because he's the last thing his victims will ever hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is Ken Bruen at his most darkly humorous, his most lovably bleak, as he shows us the meaning behind a proverb of his own design--\"the Irish can abide almost anything save silence.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysterious Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802128829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.90w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2018 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ken Bruen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643407823004,"sku":"9780802128829","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cc355509-3979-45c3-81ea-58dfba45a4db.jpg?v=1603856572","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-galway-silence-9780802128829","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
