Michael Brewin author?

[Rambis]

I am guessing on the name. All I know is this author rights detective novels I believe the main character's name is Taylor and the stories usually take place in and around Galway city?
I am just about done with the Rebus series by Ian Rankin ( I will miss them) and I need a knew read.
Thanks for any help!

1. You're looking for Ken Bruen, I think

The first review on this page (scroll down) sounds like what you're describing and there are others by him that feature Jack Taylor.

I rather like the Bartholomew Gill series of Police Chief Peter McGarr in Dublin, if you're looking for another series set in Ireland, btw.

2. Ahh! thanks Maeve

thanks for the tip also. I now have enough to keep my busy for a long time. I only get to read on the weekends mostly. I try to read in bed at night but I don't last long after working all day come make dinner then chase the 4 and 6 year old around until bedtime.
Cheers!
