Summary
Bloomsbury presents Galway Confidential by Ken Bruen, read by John Keating

'Bruen is the godfather of the modern Irish crime novel' Irish Independent

The thrilling new crime novel set in Galway, Ireland from Ken Bruen. When Jack Taylor wakes up from a coma, he finds himself in a different world... yet it hasn't changed at all.

When Jack Taylor awakes from a coma following an attack that left him in hospital, much of the world has changed. The Covid pandemic has devastated the lives of many in his beloved city of Galway and beyond.

As Jack tries to absorb the incredible changes, a woman approaches him with a particularly distressing case. Two local nuns have been bludgeoned by a mysterious man wielding a hammer. As the police fail to act while the violence against the Sisters escalates, Jack seems like their only hope.

Initially wary of getting involved, Jack finds he cannot stay away from the mystery surrounding these vicious attacks. He also cannot shake a feeling of darkness that has haunted him since he awoke from his coma: a darkness that is far too close for comfort...

Critic Reviews

Satisfyingly complex . . . All the usual elements of a Jack Taylor novel - terse prose, muscular action, and plenty of Jameson - are on offer in spades. . . . This will more than satisfy series fans.

'Hard-hitting'
Unique and viciously funny... you won’t ever forget the way this Irish pulp philosopher skewers society’s ills and does up the bad guys like a kipper
