Over 1,300 pages of gripping Irish crime fiction. Hours of entertainment. Atmospheric, twisty, and brimming with intrigue, enjoy seven more unforgettable cases set on the wild Atlantic coast.

The west of Ireland — beautiful, brutal, and full of buried secrets. From a bookmaker bludgeoned in the toilets at the Galway Races to a body fished out of Galway Bay on the first sail of the season, Senior Inspector Maureen Lyons and Detective Superintendent Mick Hays are the ones called when the worst happens.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
🔎 Senior Inspector Maureen Lyons – Now heading the new western Serious and Organised Crime Unit, Lyons is sharper, busier and more in demand than ever. Her instincts have put a long line of killers behind bars, but every case takes its toll — and the politics never get easier. Tough, wry, and stubborn enough to follow the truth wherever it leads, even when her bosses would rather she didn’t.
🔍 Detective Superintendent Mick Hays – Lyons’s partner in life and in policing, Hays runs the detectives at Mill Street with quiet, practiced authority. A keen sailor on Galway Bay when he gets the chance, he combines years of frontline experience with a knack for steering political fallout — and a deep loyalty to the team around him.

DISCOVER THE WEST OF IRELAND
Unpredictable wild Atlantic weather. Remote villages. Miles of empty bogland where secrets are easy to bury. From the busy streets of Galway City to the rugged coastline and lonely Connemara hills, the west of Ireland is at the heart of every investigation. Storms roll in without warning, locals remember everything and old grudges never stay buried for long. In this unforgettable landscape, every case leaves its mark.
