Publisher Description

America - the land of opportunity, a place where economic prosperity beckons - but not for PI Jack Taylor, who's just been refused entry.

Disappointed and bitter, he thinks that an encounter with an over-friendly stranger in an airport bar is the least of his problems. Except that this stranger seems to know rather more than he should about Jack.

Jack thinks no more of their meeting and resumes his old life in Galway. But when he's called to investigate a student murder - connected to an elusive Mr K - he remembers the man from the airport. Is the stranger really is who he says he is?

With the help of the Jameson, Jack struggles to make sense of it all. After several more murders and too many coincidental encounters, Jack believes he may have met his nemesis. But why has he been chosen? And could he really have taken on the devil himself?

"Another fine example of Bruen's gritty noir style but a bit allegorical for my taste. Is this the last of the Jack Taylor series? If so, he deserved a better sendoff. Still, it's Bruen and as usual, far better than most of what else is out there. "

    " I really like Ken Bruen. This last Jack Taylor novel is so clever. So wonderful. So Jack Taylor. If you haven't read any Bruen, pick one up. Go to your library, borrow one, buy one, whatever, but get some Bruen in your life. You won't be disappointed. "

    " Very easy read and I did in about 4 hrs. The Devil is trying to get the soul of an Irish man who is a failed cop. The writing is spare but moves the story along so well you hardly believe you are reading it all in one sitting. "
