Publisher's summary

After much tragedy and violence, Jack Taylor has at long last landed at contentment. Of course, he still knocks back too much Jameson and dabbles in uppers, but he has a new woman in his life, a freshly bought apartment, and little sign of trouble on the horizon. Once again, trouble comes to him - this time in the form of a wealthy Frenchman who wants Jack to investigate the double-murder of his twin sons. Jack is meanwhile roped into looking after his girlfriend's nine-year-old son and is in for a shock with the appearance of a character out of his past. The plot is one big chess game, and all of the pieces seem to be moving at the behest of one dangerously mysterious player, a vigilante called "Silence"...because he's the last thing his victims will ever hear.

This is Ken Bruen at his most darkly humorous and most lovably bleak as he shows us the meaning behind a proverb of his own design - the Irish can abide almost anything save silence.

The noirest of all Ken Bruen's books

The narrator was amazing. He added a darker shade to an already noir story. I enjoyed it even more than I usually do Ken Bruen's books.

Thoroughly unpleasant

The book was short so I'm grateful for that. It was well written, but it dragged with details when added to the atmosphere but did nothing for the plot. The performance was lovely, I will give Gerry O'Brien that and would happily listen to his voice again. But the never ending self pity and suffering of the main character had me wanting to bump my head against the nearest wall. I lived the TV series. The written word? Not nearly as much.
