The first of Bruen's Jack Taylor mysteries. Jack is a hopeless drunk, a former policeman (guard) who was fired for drunkenness. But the book is written poetically and with a certain dignity--Jack Taylor does not want your pity, he just tells it like it is while he deals with his personal demons alone. Interesting, unique writing style and nearly impossible to put down.
