Book 1: The Guardians of Order
Having never recovered from his dismissal from the Garda Síochána, Jack Taylor prefers to look at the world through the cloudy bottom of a beer mug and ignore the lack of any prospects. He teeters on the brink, bumping into the sharpest corners of life, crippled by his past and bereft of a future.
At least that is until the day a stunning woman walks into the bar, driven by rumours of Jack's detective talent. And although the drunken detective didn't immediately manage to get down from his stool to talk to the client, he still got the job. But Jack had no idea what he was about to get himself into.
The first book in the series about private detective Jack Taylor. A film adaptation starring the charismatic Ian Glen (Game of Thrones) in the title role.
Book 2. Jack Taylor. The Tinker Murders
A year ago, wearing an old guard's coat, with a sober mind and a twinkle in his eye, Jack Taylor left the Galway, hoping to find a new life in London. And now he's back, wearing a leather jacket, with a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, a few grams of cocaine in his belt, and a pint of beer in his mind. So much for new achievements... Soon, Jack plunges back into a state of alcohol and drug extravaganza, emerging only once every few days to keep from losing touch with reality. During one of these rare moments of "clarity", he receives another case. Or rather, it finds him, promising a lot of trouble. But has that ever stopped Jack?
Book 3. Jack Taylor. The Martyrs of St Magdalene's Monastery
A constant struggle with thoughts of alcohol and suicide that push you to the brink. What could be worse than this? Maybe a phone call from a local mafioso, a reminder of a debt. Bill Cassell has twice helped out his former guard, Jack Taylor, and in return, he demands a favour. The detective has to find a woman - possibly dead or very old - who helped Bill's mother escape from the notorious St Magdalene's asylum many years ago. Jack doesn't have much faith in the success of the search and takes on a new case at the same time. However, Cassell's thugs know how to "convince". And now Taylor clearly understands that his only chance to stay alive is to find this woman as soon as possible.
Book 4. Jack Taylor. The Playwright
Jack Taylor has quit, or at least he's trying to. With bad habits, but not with investigations. And now he has a new order that comes from an unexpected place - a Dublin prison. The case bears some resemblance to the ones Jack has already worked on (young girls die mysteriously again), but there is a twist: Taylor's love of reading plays a much bigger role in this case. He will have to read between the lines of old books and on the stairs of modern buildings...
