About this ebook
Uncovering the Shadows of Galway City
Fall into a raw and violent quest for justice in Ken Bruen's engrossing mystery novel, Cross. Set against the backdrop of Galway, Ireland, the narrative plunges into the abyss of grim secrets hidden within the city.
Follow Jack Taylor, a weathered private investigator, who is drawn into a hellish investigation by an old friend from the Guards. A boy brutally crucified and a sister burnt to death unravel a horrifying wave of crimes–a strain of modern-day crucifixions. Jack's investigations take him to many of his old haunts where he encounters ghosts, both dead and living.
Battling his desires for redemption and the ceaseless need to disappear, Jack pivots between personal grief and his relentless pursuit for the killer. With prose as sharp as a scalpel, this intense story of mystery, suspense, and retribution, offers a sinister spin on the classic detective noir tale.
