Куив Макдоннелл – лучшие произведения

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 причинам — ведь это его бывшая девушка, которой он изменил), а другой исчез с лица земли (вообще безо всяких причин). Неожиданно Пол получает заказ: ему предстоит проследить за Джеромом Хартиганом — застройщиком из той самой «Жаворонковой тройки». Сможет ли Пол понять, как…

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…

Sunday mornings are not supposed to be this stressful. The St Jude’s Under-12s hurling team has a match against a hated opponent and their manager, one Bunny McGarry, has made an ill-judged wager on the outcome. His dignity is now relying on the worst team anyone has ever seen, turning around a losing streak that feels like it’s lasted longer than World War I only with not as many light-hearted moments. As if that wasn’t enough, it turns out crime doesn’t take weekends off either, and when duty calls, sometimes you have to bring a minibus full of pre-teen delinquents with you.

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…

MCM Investigations are back! Although Brigit isn’t sure for how long. Money is tight, business is slow and her partner, Paul, has been temporarily crippled due to her attempts to be in two places at once; one place being at the bottom of a ladder. It’s therefore manna from heaven when an old friend comes to them in need of help. Deccie Fadden is that rarest of things – someone who experienced a brilliant lockdown. He stumbled into his perfect job, where his ability to have an opinion on absolutely everything is, for once, an advantage. Now he is wildly popular and unpopular. Anyone who thinks you can’t be both at the same time has never…
