"When an Irish vigilante group is targeted by a killer, Jack Taylor must unravel the deadly mystery. Edge is an organisation set up to rid Galway of criminals and abusers who have evaded the law. Its members include the most powerful figures in the city. The Vatican is not pleased when it hears one of its priests has joined Edge. Who better to intercede with Father Whelan than Jack Taylor, the whiskey-swigging ex-cop who has one foot in the pub and another among Ireland’s clergy? The day after Jack speaks to Whelan, the priest is found dead, hanged in his own back yard. Would Edge really kill one of their own? And if not, who would be bold enough to take them on? It’s up to Jack to nail the culprit before Galway descends into vigilante chaos. From one of Ireland's greatest ever crime fiction writers, the neo-noir Jack Taylor stories are perfect for fans of classic crime fiction and hard-boiled modern detective stories alike.

"Kaum zehn Minuten aus dem Knast, bricht Mitchell auch schon einem Punk den Arm. Zimperlich ist er nicht. Einer seiner alten Kumpane bietet ihm einen Job als Geldeintreiber an. Mitchell ist nicht sonderlich angetan von dem Vorschlag, aber ein besseres Angebot gibt es nicht. Er ist der ideale Mann für den Job - skrupellos, blitzschnell und wenn es sein muss, brutal. Aber er will sein Leben ändern, denn er hat auch eine andere Seite: Er liest - Philosophie, Literatur, Thriller, Lyrik - und ist die Zuverlässigkeit in Person. Als er einen Job als 'Mädchen für alles' bei der reichen Schauspielerin Lillian Palmer bekommt, glaubt er, das Glück sei endlich wieder auf seiner Seite: Die Lady ist versessen darauf, ihn mit Cash, Autos und Sex zu entlohnen. Dann trifft er Aisling - gewieft, schön, und ebenso wild und begierig auf ihn wie er auf sie. Hoffnung keimt in ihm auf.

Headstone

"Some people help the less fortunate. Others kill them. Evil has many guises. Jack Taylor has encountered most of them but nothing before has ever truly terrified him until a group called Headstone rears its ugly head. An elderly priest is viciously beaten until nearly dead. A special needs boy is brutally attacked. A series of seemingly random, insane, violent events even has the Guards shaken. Most would see a headstone as a marker of the dead, but this coterie of evil intends to act as a death knell to every aspect of Jack's life as an act of appalling violence alerts him to the horror enveloping Galway. Accepting the power of Headstone, Jack realizes that in order to fight back he must relinquish the remaining shreds of what has made him human - knowledge that may have come too late to prevent an act of such ferocious evil that the whole country would be changed forever - and in the worst way. With awful clarity, Jack knows that not only might he be powerless to stop it but that he may not have the grit needed to even face it."
