Куив Макдоннелл – лучшие книги

Винсент Бэнкрофт, главный редактор еженедельной газеты о сверхъестественных явлениях, меньше всех верит в публикуемые им новости. Да и кто всерьез поверит в то, что трехголовая курица предсказала конец света, а один из читателей наблюдал за появлением НЛО? Но вот сдача очередного номера на носу, а в распоряжении редакции — лишь несколько депрессивных объявлений о…

Главный герой Пол Малкроун по просьбе сердобольного персонала дома престарелых приходит к клиентам, теряющим память, чтобы изобразить их родственников. У него настолько «обычное» лицо, что люди признают в нем своего, даже если ждали в качестве визитера любимую бабушку.

В первый раз его попытались убить случайно.

Во второй — уже намеренно.

Теперь Пол Малкроун в бегах, и ему не поможет никто, кроме медсестры, начитавшейся криминальных романов, и полицейского-отщепенца, склонного к насилию. Вместе они раскроют одно из самых печально знаменитых преступлений в истории Ирландии... или сами станут историей.

В Дублине во всех отношениях неспокойно. Экономика переживает глубокий кризис. Трое застройщиков, оставившие без жилья сотни жителей города, предстают перед судом. Нарастают уличные волнения. Но у Пола Малкроуна свои проблемы. Его недавно созданное детективное агентство может так же скоро и закрыться: один из партнеров не разговаривает с ним (по очень веским…

«„Ангельская“ работёнка» — приквел к основной трилогии «Дублинской серии». У детектива Банни Макгэрри ужасно сложная жизнь, и скоро она станет еще сложнее. На дворе 1999 год, он только-только завоевал репутацию огромной занозы в заднице среди криминального дублинского сообщества. К сожалению, это мнение разделяют и его боссы. Детектив ставит перед собой задачу…

Недавно открывшееся "Сыскное агентство МКМ" Бриджит и Пола находится на грани разорения, не только из-за неистового темперамента и вызывающих вопросы методов их коллеги Банни Макгэрри, но и из-за постоянных интриг со стороны конкурентов. Меж тем не только влиятельные противники заставляют героев ощущать что-то вроде непроходящей мигрени. Призрак агента Федерального…

How far would you go to protect a dead man?

It’s the year 2000 in Dublin and, following some traumatic events, Detective Bunny McGarry is taking a well-earned break from the force. However, just because you’re not looking for trouble doesn’t mean trouble isn’t looking for you.

Bunny’s former partner died in the line of duty under dubious circumstances but his murky background has suddenly resurfaced, threatening Bunny’s reputation as well. As if that isn’t enough, a young boy is in danger and a woman from the big fella’s past is trapped in a loveless marriage to a monster. They both need Bunny’s help, but he must get to work fast – it seems someone is trying to frame him for murder …

Dead Man’s Sins is a continuation of McDonnell’s critically acclaimed bestselling Dublin Trilogy and mixes high-octane thrills with a distinctly Irish wit.

Be careful who you love …

It’s the year 2000 and while Bunny McGarry is theoretically on sabbatical from the police, he just can’t help sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong.

Rosie Flint is an old acquaintance of Bunny’s whose boyfriend mysteriously disappears off the face of the Earth. What starts out as a simple missing person’s case soon gets a whole lot more complicated when it emerges that the boyfriend is not who he claimed to be and there are some rather sinister people showing an unhealthy interest in Rosie.

Bunny is only trying to help a friend but it’s just a matter of time before he finds himself at loggerheads with his colleagues on the force, having to reassess some events from his past and unwittingly involved in a major political coup.

He won’t be able to do this alone, so it is a good job he can call upon a certain band of kick-ass nuns to do what they do best. And he might even find a use for a twelve-year-old boy who is desperate to escape from an Irish language summer school.

Firewater Blues is the sixth book in McDonnell’s critically acclaimed bestselling and increasing inaccurately titled Dublin Trilogy. It mixes high-octane thrills with distinct Irish wit.

He’s a good man having a bad day with the worst hangover.

All Bunny McGarry wants is a spot of breakfast and a decent cup of tea. So imagine how annoyed he gets when two masked men attempt to rob the New York diner he is in? Unfortunately, dealing with that problem just leads to a whole lot more. One of the diner’s other customers isn’t who she appears to be, and the odds aren’t great that she is going to live to see another breakfast.

So just how much trouble is she in?

Well, you know how they’re always telling us to pay attention to our pensions? Some ex-employees of the US government are really taking that advice to heart by using their mayhem-creating abilities to maximise their investments. When one of their fund managers has a momentary crisis of conscience and confesses all to a woman he hardly knows, they will stop at nothing to deal with the problem. Amy Daniels is in big trouble and the only thing keeping her alive is a man who is supposed to already be dead.

It’s Christmas Eve and DS Bunny McGarry is in the mood to celebrate – he’s back on active duty having successfully proven that throwing a senior officer off a building was an appropriate step to take in the course of an investigation. However, his festivities are interrupted when someone attempts to assassinate him while he’s trying to take a leak – is nothing sacred? The thing is, the assassin isn’t all he initially appears, and Bunny soon finds himself in a race against time to trace a kidnapped child before the people who ordered the hit realise that he is considerably less dead than they had hoped. Bunny is making a list but he’s only checking it once because time is of the essence and some people need a refresher in the meaning of Christmas. Bloody Christmas is a limited edition standalone novella that will be available until December 31st. All proceeds will go to the Peter McVerry Trust, an Irish housing and homeless charity committed to reducing homelessness and the harm caused by substance misuse and social disadvantage. It is set just after A Man With One of Those Faces, book 1 of the bestselling Dublin Trilogy series that melds high-octane action with an acerbic Irish wit.
