Beara: Dark Legends Part Two
A ‘Gaelic Noir’ mystery with Ireland’s Greatest Mythological Detective.’
In the rugged 1960’s Beara peninsula, a terrifying Púca is haunting the Slieve Miskish Mountains. Retired farmer, Diarmuid O’Súilleabháin however, has issues of his own to contend with, mostly involving the behaviour of his strange, Gaelic speaking nephew.
Or dark revelations from his brother’s death that might best be kept concealed.
Meanwhile, Muiris (Mos) O’Súilleabháin’s search for the final resting place of Irish hero Fionn mac Cumhaill has been complicated by a mysterious circus performer who’s too implausible to be true – despite all evidence to the contrary.
And a deadly rival who’ll brook no competition.
As the two investigations delve deeper into the fabric of fact and legend, it becomes ever more difficult to tell the difference between them.
Beara: Dark Legends – Part 2 (follow-up to Part 1) is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense, steeped in the rich tapestry of Irish culture and ‘mythology’. With its ‘Gaelic Noir’ atmosphere and pulse-pounding action, this is not the Ireland you thought you knew.
