BLITZ: OR... BRANT HITS THE BLUES
Book ID/图书代码： 14934110B35681
English Summary/英文概要： The fast moving follow-up to the ‘White Trilogy’:
The Brixton-based police squad are suffering collective burn out:
• Detective Sergeant Brant is hitting the blues and physically assaulting the police shrink.
• Chief Inspector Roberts’ wife has died in a horrific accident and he’s drowning in gut-rot red wine.
• ‘Black and beautiful’ WPC Falls is lethally involved with a junior member of the National Front and simultaneously taking down Brixton drug dealers to feed her own habit.
The team never had it so bad and when a serial killer takes his show on the road, things get progressively worse. Nicknamed ‘The Blitz’, a vicious murderer is aiming for tabloid glory by killing cops. Harold Dunphy, Ace crime reporter believes he’s on to the story of the decade and the police have never had more incentive to catch a villain.
From Absinthe to cheap lager, with the darkest blues as a chorus, The White Trilogy has just got bigger. ‘Getting hammered’ was never meant to be the deadly swing it it is in this darkest chapter from London’s most addictive police squad.

Most of the hard-charging cops from The White Trilogy [BKL F 1 03] are back--Sergeant Brant, Chief Inspector Roberts, Police Constable Falls--along with a couple of late arrivals, Sergeant Porter Nash and PC McDonald. Slogging their way through a London unrecognizable from postcards, it’s a wonder any of them have survived both criminal mayhem and their own self-destructive impulses. A cop killer dubbed "The Blitz" is wreaking havoc with a hammer, and as the tale rockets forward, the characters find themselves engaged in unlikely alliances: homophobe Brant with openly gay Nash; suddenly supercompetent Roberts with screw-up McDonald; and the black Falls with "Metal," a racist skinhead. While Blitz still suffers from Bruen’s tendency to create two-dimensional villains and to skim the surface of emotional depths he ought to plumb, there are hints that he’s softening a bit, realizing that characters with regrets are more interesting than those too emotionally dead to care. Also, this one is more satisfyingly plotted than its predecessors, ending with a bang instead of just skidding to a stop.---Keir Graff, From Booklist
