In South London, an unlikely gang of kidnappers hatch a plot. Nick, an ex-bouncer, Dex, a charismatic sociopath, and Lisa, a motor-mouth junkie femme fatale. Their prey is a powerful, local businessman with an obsession for the poet Rilke. Thing is, each kidnapper has a very different agenda. Which means it's only a matter of time before the joking stops, and the ever threatening violence begins. Rilke on Black is an eerie, crooked tale of sex, obsession and betrayal. Ken Bruen's dark contemporary thriller matches a razor sharp vernacular with a country music soundtrack to create a truly intoxicating and original mix.

This is classic noir albeit set in London and written by an Irishman. It’s harsh and brutal (probably more so than his Jack Taylor books) with not much in the way of light relief. There’s a bit of sex and a lot of violence to accompany the snappy dialogue. It’s a short nove, weighing in at just 150 pages and a quick read. It is one of the author’s early novels and while not as accomplished as his later ones it definitely shows signs of promise to come. Not one I’d recommend as a starter for his work but for those looking for a quick Bruen fix without the entanglements a series brings then this might just fit the bill. ( )
