O’Nelligan und Plunkett Reihe

Diese Serie erzählt von der ungewöhnlichen Partnerschaft zwischen einem geistreichen, gelehrten irischen Witwer mit einer reichen Vergangenheit und einem jungen, widerstrebenden Privatdetektiv. In einer ruhigen Stadt in Neuengland angesiedelt, reichen ihre Fälle von Untreue bis Mord und verbinden klassische literarische Anspielungen mit scharfer Beobachtung. Das dynamische Duo, ein Amateur-Detektiv, der einem lizenzierten Ermittler hilft, deckt nicht nur kriminelle Machenschaften auf, sondern auch die Komplexität der menschlichen Natur und die Stärke unerwarteter Freundschaften auf.

    It's 1956, and Lee Plunkett has taken over the family business as a private investigator despite his reluctance to follow in his father's footsteps. When murder intrudes on a group of ghost seekers, Lee is asked to solve the case by a cop on the verge of retirement. At the urging of his perpetual fianc e, Audrey, Lee enlists the help of Mr. O'Nelligan, a scholarly Irishman with a keen eye for solving mysteries. The duo is drawn into a murder investigation involving the "Spectricator," a machine designed to communicate with the dead. Soon, Plunkett and O'Nelligan are knee-deep in a suspect pool that includes a surly medium, a former speakeasy queen, a mysterious Spanish widow, and a whole slew of eccentric servants.

    The Seance Society introduced mystery lovers to Mr. O’Nelligan and Lee Plunkett, an unlikely pair of sleuths on an equally unlikely case with a supernatural twist. Having taken over his father's PI business, Lee enlists O'Nelligan, a dapper Irishman with a flair for solving mysteries, to help catch a killer. Now, this sleuthing "odd couple" are back in another witty, charming, and wonderfully written mystery, this time set in 1957 in the burgeoning music scene of New York City's Greenwich Village.  It's the spring of 1957, and O'Nelligan and Plunkett are summoned to New York to investigate the death of a controversial folk song collector. The trail leads the pair to a diverse group of suspects including an eccentric Beat coffee house owner, a family of Irish balladeers (who may be IRA),  a bluesy ex-con, a hundred-and-five-year-old Civil War drummer boy, and a self-proclaimed “ghost chanter” who sings songs that she receives from the dead. To complicate matters, there's a handsome, smooth-talking young folk singer who Lee's fiancée Audrey is enthralled by. And somewhere in the Bohemian swirl of the Village, a killer waits...
