Thrilled to announce that 'Dark Streets' by Tadhg Coakley is now available! This gripping crime novel is set in Cork and Kerry, Ireland.
'Coakley delivers another hard-hitting assured thriller' — Catherine Kirwan
Fresh from solving a harrowing abduction case linked to drug gangs in Kerry, Detective Tim Collins returns to Cork City, only to discover that lurking in the shadows of its fabled lanes lies a world he's unprepared for.
A series of harrowing crimes—neglected by the very police force sworn to protect—has the city's most vulnerable people on edge.
As Collins digs deeper, the line between justice and revenge blurs. Trust becomes a luxury he can't afford as allies become adversaries and the truth slips further away. The streets he once knew now hold secrets that challenge everything he knows, forcing him to confront the demons of his haunted past—a past rooted in his formative years at University College Cork making him question the nature of justice and the path he has chosen in its pursuit.
As the story unfolds, Tim must decide how far he will go to uncover the truth and whether redemption lies at the end of the road. The question remains: Can one man make a difference?
Experience the brutal and blood-soaked world of Detective Tim Collins in the third instalment of this riveting series. Filled with unforeseen twists, this book promises a visceral journey that will hold you in suspense from beginning to end. #CrimeFiction #NewCrimeFiction #DarkStreets #TadhgCoakley

NEW!
Rail enthusiast and historian Chris Larkin warmly remembers the lifetime of the West Cork Railway system in this travelogue, allowing readers to hop onto a West Cork train and savour the journey of a bygone era. While on board, you might even meet a celebrity!
West Cork Railways takes the reader time travelling from the famine right through to the rocking 1960s. Sit on a seat and be whisked from your West Cork home to villages and towns carrying along the dreams, needs and aspirations of bygone travellers. Observe railway life and the harmonious existence of dogs, cats, hens, ducks and geese at the level crossings.
Railway enthusiasts will savour detailed accounts of railway stations, length of lines together with steam locomotives and wagons, while those interested in social history will enjoy accounts of halt-keeper’s houses and lists of people including those that worked on the Cork - Beara line.
This wonderful publication provides a unique visual and historical record of the West Cork Railways.
Fully illustrated throughout, material from Irish Railway Records are complemented with unique and rare images from private collections and the London Illustrated News. Photographs, vintage posters, postcards, colour slides, tickets, advertisements and images of railway objects fill the pages.
The railway brought much prosperity to the region; however, decades have passed since its 1961 demise and the rapid physical decay of the line. West Cork life continued, albeit in a different way. While today connectivity is measured in speed, this railway is fondly remembered for linking its people. Heartbreakingly, if it had held its ground for a further 12 years until EEC entry (1973), the railway right of way for future generations would have been preserved.
