Unabashed Ego Bo--Ken Bruen!

"FINCH just blew me to hell and gone. I would have sworn you can't unite noir and fantasy, and oh how gloriously wrong Jeff VanderMeer proved me to be. Finch is a detective unlike any you've encountered and is utterly compelling. He is faced with a double murder that you shake your head, go....you're done Finch. Not quite. I loved the meeting of the grime and the sublime and oh so beautifully crafted. Rarely has a novel got it all. Think Cormac McCarthy, via David Goodis, with an amazing nod to Lovecraft and still that doesn't quite capture the spell this novel casts from the off. Me, I loved the Heretic. That's a hint." - Ken BruenI'm a huge fan of Bruen's novels--his spare, evocative use of dialogue and his ability to set a scene in so few words. The best of his work feels like everything extraneous has been cut away.
