Taming the Alien

Taming the Alien is the second book in a planned trilogy. It is just as populated by the lowlifes, wideboys, and old fashioned villains of south-east London that are found in the first novel, A White Arrest. Detective Sergeant Brant and his boss, Inspector Roberts, of the Metropolitan Police are as sleazy and ruthless as the villains they are out to get. Taming the Alien takes us on an unforgettable crawl through the mean streets of London, Dublin, and New York. Ken Bruen's trademarks are his wickedly dark sense of humor, punchy dialogue, and characters that are as real as toothaches. Here they are all present in spades.
