關於本電子書

Ireland keeps its secrets well. In the dusty margins of Garda cold files and in the quiet dread of farmers’ fields, a darker history waits to be uncovered. Garda Seán Ó Murchú is no stranger to routine duty in his Kerry town, but when a protected ringfort is found disturbed, strange bones are unearthed, and a hawthorn tree bursts impossibly through a car bonnet, he stumbles into cases that no training could prepare him for.

From vanishings in Galway’s art scene, where a beautiful patron lures away musicians and painters, to mutilated flocks in Donegal that whisper of famine spirits, Seán finds himself circling truths older than the State itself. Each case pulls him deeper into Ireland’s hidden folklore, where the Aos Sí guard their mounds, the Leannán Sí feeds on brilliance, and the Fear Gorta drains whole communities of hope.

Bound by duty, haunted by dreams, and tethered by the stories his mother once told, Seán must confront an antiquarian’s obsession that threatens to pry open doors best left sealed. His superiors dismiss the signs, but the patterns are undeniable: the land remembers, and the fair folk do not forgive.

Part police procedural, part folk horror, and wholly Irish in spirit, this supernatural thriller brings the old myths roaring into the present. For fans of Tana French, Neil Gaiman, and John Connolly, it asks one chilling question: what happens when folklore stops being a story and starts being evidence?

關於作者

Michael Dunn is a tattooed, old-school goonie with a knack for turning chaos into stories that punch you in the gut and make you laugh while you’re bleeding. Raised on hard lessons and harder choices, he writes across genres with the same unflinching honesty he lives by. From teaching the digitally cursed to survive their computers (Help! My Computer Is Smarter Than Me) to dragging readers through the corporate purgatory of call centers (Tech-Support), Dunn never sugarcoats the struggle. His motivational book Don’t Fing Quit* is a battle cry for anyone on the edge of giving up, while The Silver Hand of Tara hurls readers into Celtic myth and demigod madness. And when he’s not wrecking your excuses, Old School Professionalism slices through workplace nonsense with the same fire. By day, he’s a global IT leader who’s run tech for governments, Fortune 500s, and hyperscale clouds. By night, he’s a husband, dad of five in Kenmare, Ireland, and a storyteller who bleeds truth into every line.
