Beara: Dark Legends [Book 1]

A Gaelic Noir mystery with Ireland’s “Greatest Mythological Detective.’’

On the mist-shrouded Beara peninsula, nobody knows much about reclusive historian Muiris (Mos) O’Súilleabháin, except that he doesn’t share his secrets freely. Mos, however, has a “sixth sense for history, a unique talent for finding lost things”.

Shunning the bustle of contemporary society, Mos keeps his colleagues at a distance … until presented with a challenge he simply can’t refuse - uncovering the final resting place of legendary Irish hero, Fionn mac Cumhaill.

Meanwhile, in the quiet solitude of 1960’s Beara, retired farmer Diarmuid O'Súilleabháin grapples with his own demons as he finds himself burdened with the care of his traumatized nephew. Delving into the mysteries that surround his brother’s brutal death, Diarmuid uncovers a darkness that threatens to engulf them all.

With two investigations that unravel the fabric of legend, Beara Dark Legends explores a world where ancient myths meld seamlessly with modern life.

And boundaries between legend and reality can fade at a moment’s notice.

Beara: Dark Legends is a gripping tale of mystery and suspense, steeped in the rich tapestry of Irish culture and ‘mythology’. With its Gaelic Noir atmosphere and pulse-pounding action, this is not the Ireland you thought you knew.
