Items related to Rilke on Black
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.

The most startlingly original crime novel to emerge this decade (GQ)
The reading equivalent of a boxer's sharp jab to the solar plexus. It's fast-paced, tough, and pretty sexy (Pulp)
Boiled harder than salad eggs and much more likely to leave a nasty taste in your mouth (Big Issue)
