London Boulevard
“Even tough guys are allowed to play their little games, and Ken Bruen exercises that license inLondon Boulevard, an unnervingly clever reworking of ‘Sunset Boulevard’ that’s both a homage to the 1950 Billy Wilder film and a blueprint for contemporary noir fiction.” ---Marilyn Stasio,The New York Times"This is a strong solo effort from Irish noir master Bruen, whose prose floats like a butterfly and stings like bejesus." --Library Journal"Bruen combines staccato prose and hard-edged dialogue with gritty realism and a terrifying look at London's dark underbelly. This one packs one hell of a powerful punch." --Booklist(starred review)"Noir fans will enjoy this rapid-fire thrill ride." --Publishers Weekly“Bruen is a master of dark crime fiction andLondon Boulevardfurther seals his affinity for the noir.” –The South Florida Sun-Sentinel
