Beschreibung

Gathered together for the first time and featuring two brand new stories, this collection contains all of the short stories and novellas featuring Bunny McGarry, star of the million-selling Dublin Trilogy. Spanning his entire career in law enforcement and beyond, these stories give a whole new perspective on Ireland's most truly unconventional police officer as he juggles being a force for justice and managing the world's worst under-12s hurling team. The new stories, The Many Deaths of Timmy Branch and Meanwhile in Dublin chart the journey from his first New Year's Eve on the job doing the crappiest gig imaginable, to the present day, where someone is trying to dig up some rather sensitive information about him. Dive in to find out why The Irish Post said these are 'brilliant comedic thrillers', The Strand Magazine considers them to be 'A modern great of crime comedy' and why the Wall Street Journal described them as 'poignant, suspenseful and gut-bustingly funny'.

Autor

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. Praise for McDonnell's writing:'The one-liners zing, the dialogue is a tennis match of witty banter'The Financial Times'Wonderfully dark, extremely funny, and evocative of Terry Pratchett - which I think is the highest compliment I can give.'
