Coming October 2026
I’m delighted to announce that my first crime novel, Why the Curlew Cries, will be released this October.
Synopsis
Some places keep their secrets.
In the remote Irish countryside, old grief has a way of settling into the walls, and the Roddys have lived with theirs for generations.
When a long-buried darkness begins to surface, former Garda Jack Dawson is drawn into a story shaped by silence, loyalty and the things families do to survive.
As the past presses closer, Jack must decide how much truth one small community can bear, and what it will cost to uncover it.
Haunting, intimate and steeped in the unease of the rural west, Why the Curlew Cries is an Irish Gothic crime novel about memory, inheritance and the secrets we carry home.
