Dublin Detectives: A gripping collection of captivating crime mysteries
“This series has definitely hit the ground running and cannot be missed.” – InD’Tale Magazine
Delve into the riveting world of The Irish Garda detectives, where Irish and American characters unite in their relentless quests for truth and justice. Each book can be read as a stand-alone, and each story weaves together the enigmatic allure of mysteries with the warmth of human connections, and even a hint of romance—because cops are human too.
DARE When the only clue left at a crime scene is an ace of spades, Detective John O’Sullivan needs to find out if the murder was a one-off, or if the killer plans to work his way through a whole deck of cards. Joining forces with single mom Amber Reed and her rebellious daughter Hayley, they unravel a global pattern of unsolved murders. The key to finding the relentless killer and ending his sinister game lies in Hayley’s hands—and John must protect his two allies at all cost.
SILENT Detective Aidan Connor never expected a routine murder investigation to reveal a labyrinth of political intrigue and shocking secrets. Teaming up with cybercrime expert Detective Jenna Darcy, they unravel a high-profile case that challenges their convictions about justice. The line between victim and villain becomes blurry even for these two veteran cops.
KILLER Dive into the chilling world of Detective Evan Gallagher and profiler Chelsea Campbell as they unravel a lethal obsession in the heart of Dublin. The city’s calm exterior shatters when a relentless killer emerges, leaving a trail of cryptic clues. As the clock ticks, the detective-psychologist duo races to decipher the sinister game before they become fallen pawns in this deadly match of wits.
LOST GIRL (a novella): Detective Finola “Finn” McGregor thrives in her job with the Irish Police, until a routine assignment unveils a child trafficking ring. Driven by justice and duty, Finn's resolve strengthens when she meets Maddie, a victim of the traffickers. After one look into the girl's sad eyes, Finn is willing to risk everything, even her life, to save Maddie.

***** What a Winner!
Having read this author before, I figured I would get hooked right away. Boy, was I right! In the DARE GAME, I loved the bang of an opening, an appealing, yet complicated detective, a touching mother whose errant teenage child gives her many sleepless nights, and a page-turning plot!
In SILENT STRIKE, the characters were so well-formed, the prose delightfully flowing, and the abundance of suspects along with several side stories to throw you off, kept those pages turning. I also enjoyed the world of Detective Aidan Connor’s ‘family.’
In KILLER SCORE, I really enjoyed Detective Evan Gallagher along with the profiler, Chelsea Campbell, as they come across evil clues throughout Dublin. Loved the way the author portrays the determination of the two police people in their search for who is responsible for these clues, and will they themselves also become victims?
The LOST GIRL touched me greatly. All about child trafficking, Detective Finola, or “Finn,” really gets into her job of not only children in general dealing with this, but in particular, Maddie, who is the latest victim of traffickers. The connection between the two touches the heart. So well done!
Bottom line? This is a WONDERFUL set to explore. When I read the sentence, “This series has definitely hit the ground running and cannot be missed,” by InD’Tale Magazine, I nodded vehemently. Yes, indeed, these books can NOT be missed!
