About

Jack Taylor (Iain Glen, Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey) is a former cop turned private investigator with little to show for his time in the Irish Guards but his old police overcoat. Few of his former colleagues have any regard for Taylor, who looks more like the people they arrest every day than one of their own. The exception is his friend Garda Kate Noonan (Nora-Jane Noone, The Magdalene Sisters), though even she has to walk a fine line between helping Taylor and irritating her boss. Six months sober, Taylor takes on cases with the help of his young assistant, Cody (Killian Scott, Love/Hate), even while he worries about his elderly mother, who has suffered a stroke. Try as he might, the ex-cop from Galway finds that in his hometown, his past is always just a mistake away. Includes three feature-length mysteries: The Dramatist, Priest, and Shot Down.
