Set in and around Galway on Ireland’s rugged western coast, Ken Bruen’s bestselling “Jack Taylor” crime novels leap to life in this series of TV movies featuring the straight-shooting, big-hearted Jack Taylor.

He used to be a good cop with a minor drinking habit. Now he’s a private eye with a major habit for getting into trouble. Operating from a pub, he has to face his demons every day. Still reeling from the global economic crisis, Galway offers the perfect backdrop for criminal activity. And for those untouched by the economic downfall, there’s still enough criminal energy fermenting since the 60s and 70s, when the traditional social and political fabric of Ireland came apart, leaving rifts that still plague the country today. Taylor’s cases reflect these upheavals, and lead him to the very abyss of human malevolence and evil...
