One of the concepts of this series is that it frequently features a famous Irish historical crime, but fictionalises it - changing the location, date and victims. This time it was the La Mancha murders which happened in Malahide in 1926.

Part of a series about Stefan Gillespie, a Guard (Irish policeman) during the Emergency (as WW2 was called in Ireland). He‘s investigating several cases in Ireland, but his duties also lead him to Berlin.
This is an interesting series, set in Ireland (and various other countries) during the 30‘s and 40‘s. Part historical fiction, part thriller, part detective fiction. Stefan is a pretty sympathetic character too.
