On a stormy Monday morning in Transylvania, an ageing Dracula tour guide reflects on his future. Meanwhile, in the Irish town of Ballyhatchet, another form of storm is impending. Councillor Barty Goorlin is found murdered in his own pub. With an unprecedented election for his vacant seat leading to some dirty tricks on the campaign trail, the pressure is on the cynical Sergeant John Scutter and his imbecilic sidekick, Garda Gilbert Tade, to catch the killer. But this case throws up some unexpected questions. What was Councillor Goorlin’s connection to a lethally addictive new drug called Crazy Emerald? Could the creator of this mind-blowing marvel have a lab in Ballyhatchet? Who stripped the Garda station bare, when Garda Tade forgot to lock the door? And what does Dracula have to do with any of this? For Scutter, the answers may prove to be too close to home for comfort.
With a nod to Breaking Bad and a wink in the direction of Bram Stoker’s most famous creation, Crazy Emerald takes a comical trip through a world where local politics meets international crime, while the Sergeant at the centre of it all struggles to save his career, his marriage and his sanity.
