The White Trilogy

Part of "Inspector Brant, #1, #2" series

"The White Trilogy" is a gripping crime fiction series written by Ken Bruen, consisting of three novels: "The Guards," "The Killing of the Tinkers," and "The Dramatist." The series features the troubled and complex character of Detective Sergeant Tom Brant, a member of the Garda Síochána, the police force of the Republic of Ireland. In "The Guards," the first book of the trilogy, Brant is introduced as a hard-boiled, no-nonsense detective, who is struggling with personal demons and a deep-seated anger towards the criminal underworld. When a series of brutal murders occur in Galway, Brant is assigned to the case and forms an unlikely alliance with a small-time criminal named James "Jap" Rice. Together, they navigate the treacherous waters of Galway's criminal underworld, as Brant seeks justice for the victims and Rice seeks redemption for his past sins. In "The Killing of the Tinkers," the second book, Brant is once again thrust into the dark and violent world of Galway's criminals, as he investigates the murder of a traveling family. As Brant delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of corruption and deceit that threatens to destroy the very fabric of Galway society. The final book in the trilogy, "The Dramatist," sees Brant facing his greatest challenge yet, as he is pitted against a ruthless serial killer who is targeting the city's most vulnerable residents. With the stakes higher than ever, Brant must use all of his cunning and resourcefulness to bring the killer to justice, even if it means confronting his own demons in the process. Bruen's writing is sharp, gritty, and unflinching, capturing the raw brutality and unpredictability of life on the streets of Galway. The "White Trilogy" is a masterclass in crime fiction, expertly blending elements of noir, thriller, and police procedural to create a truly unforgettable reading experience. Fans of authors like Ian Rankin, Dennis Lehane, and Michael Connelly will find much to love in this dark and atmospheric series...
