Galway Blues

Galway Blues is the latest electrifying instalment in Mick Donnellan’s Irish crime series, tracing the volatile path of Charlie as he descends further into chaos. Haunted by the death of El Niño—who was once his girlfriend—Charlie drowns his grief in alcohol and risky heists that lead him across Athlone, Ballinrobe, and Galway. With the police closing in, Kramer’s old crew out for revenge, and a new boss determined to seize power, Charlie is drawn into schemes involving illegal diesel in Westmeath, stolen ATMs in Mayo, and violent debt collections in Galway.

In the midst of his turmoil, he meets Karena, an enigmatic actor who just might offer him a way out—or risk being destroyed by his downward spiral. Dark, raw, and laced with sharp Irish humour, Galway Blues is a gripping exploration of loss, loyalty, and the thin line between redemption and ruin.
