I'm reading Ken Bruen's The Killing of the Tinkers. It
features a visiting London cop, DS Keegan, on vacation in
Galway. Now Keegan is obviously the same character as DS
Brant. There are a number of references to occurences in The
White Trilogy (the character's love of McBain, his naming a
dog Meyer Meyer, Meyer's later immolation, passing references
to Falls and Roberts, though neither by name, and his Irish
mother; and doesn't one of the Brant books mention a trip he
took to visit the land of his mother, but offer no details?).
So why the name change? Is it because the two series have
different publishers? Does that give the publishers exclusive
rights to the characters, or at least their names?
Also, anyone who has read any of the Jack Taylor series (or
other Bruen books, for that matter) knows that he mentions a
lot of books he has read. I'm curious about one. Does anyone
know anything about Robert Irwin's Satan Wants Me?
