Dead Man's Sins - Mcdonnell, Caimh

. .

Résumé :
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 Caimh McDonnell's critically acclaimed bestselling Dublin Trilogy and mixes high-octane thrills with a distinctly Irish wit....

Caimh McDonnell is the internationally bestselling author of the Dublin Trilogy which is set in his hometown. His debut novel 'A Man with One of Those Faces' - a darkly comedic crime thriller - was published in 2016 and nominated for best novel at the 2017 CAP awards. It went on to spawn the increasingly uncountable Dublin Trilogy (six books and counting) and the McGarry Stateside series. The books, which have sold over 650,000 copies to date and been ranked #1 in their Amazon categories in the UK, Ireland and the USA, have been translated into several different languages and optioned for television. He also writes the critically-acclaimed 'The Stranger Times' series under the name of C.K. McDonnell. These books combine his distinctive dark wit with his love of the weird and wonderful to deliver a celebration of how truth really can be stranger than fiction.The former professional stand-up comedian and TV writer has performed all around the world, had several well-received Edinburgh shows and supported acts such as Sarah Millican and Gary Delaney on tour before hanging up his clowning shoes to concentrate on writing. His TV writing work has seen him work on some of the biggest topical comedy shows on British TV and has earned him a BAFTA nomination. Born in Limerick and raised in Dublin, he has taken the hop across the water and calls Manchester his home. Caimh can be found happily writing his next book in the office in the back garden, with his two dogs, Diller and Jackson, and his imagination for company.
