It’s a good week for
Sir Kenneth of Bruen, people – LONDON BOULEVARD has just been short-listed for the SNCF ‘Best Foreign Crime Novel’ award in France (ooh la-la, etc.). Nice one, Sir Kenneth. To celebrate, we’re giving away – courtesy of the lovely folk at Brandon Books – three hardback copies of
AMERICAN SKIN for free, gratis and nuffink. First, the blurb elves:
Stephen Blake is a good man blown in bad directions. He and girlfriend Siobhan, best friend Tommy, IRA terrorist Stapleton, and a particularly American sort of psychopath named Dade, are all on a collision course somewhere between the dive bars of New York and the pitiless desert of the Southwest. This is the long-awaited American novel by Ken Bruen, the hard-boiled master of Irish noir.
Nice. To be in with a chance of winning a copy of AMERICAN SKIN, just answer the following question.
Is Ken Bruen’s rock ‘n’ roll alter-ego:
(a) Iggy Pop;
(b) Keith Richards;
(c) Kris Kristofferson;
(d) Jerry Lee Lewis?
Answers via the comment box, please, leaving an email contact address (using (at) rather than @ to confound the spam-munchkins) by noon on Tuesday, September 30.
Et bon chance, mes amis …

I'll go with Iggy b/c he is the one I like better and his music is "noirisher".

I'll be the first to say it -- he's totally Kris Kristofferson!

I reckon I'd go with Iggy Pop as well.

I'd go with (c) - Ken Bruen is the wisened gentleman of crime fiction. He's not loud and he's not brash. He's just damn good.

I vote for a, b, c and d... at least I´d be right on one account:)

Ah, Stuart, tell me you didn't just misspell Keith?
To Keith: Ah. I did, didn't I? I shall stand in the corner for an hour and think about what I've done.
