Bunny McGarry is the central character of Caimh McDonnell’s Dublin-set crime comedy series. A former Garda detective built like a wall and just as subtle, Bunny handles problems with a mix of street smarts, brute force, and a loyalty to his people that borders on reckless.
McGarry appears across two connected series. The Dublin Trilogy follows his cases in Ireland, while the McGarry Stateside series takes him to America, where his methods translate badly but his results stay consistent. Together they form one long, chaotic story about a man who cannot stop getting involved.
