A D'Arcy Blake Adventure, A Case for the Tech Detectives is the first book from Journalist and TV Producer Sean Dunne published with Galway based Book Hub Publishing.
The book focuses on teenage detective D'Arcy Blake who has recently moved home from Boston in the United States to Salthill, Galway Ireland. Having struggled to fit in at school in America, D'Arcy sets out to make sure his new life in the West of Ireland is different. And it is!
A strong bond with his grandmother Nancy, ensures D'Arcy has a firm grounding in his new local community. D'Arcy is a strong willed teenager and alongside his friends, Marc and Claire and new girl in town, Fatima, D'Arcy and his crew set out to solve a mystery at the local abandoned mansion, Wakefield Manor.
The Manor leads the teenage detective on a dangerous course when they encounter TJ Wakefield, and a daring mission unfolds for the friends.
Commenting on writing his first book Sean said: "Like most people I have always wanted to write my own book but finding the time and setting your mind to it always seemed to get in the way until the Covid-19 pandemic hit and we were all forced to stay home. The idea for D'Arcy was born in the early days of the pandemic and the adventure for the book began. It has been an interesting journey for me to write a book as I spent a long time working as a news reporter for newspapers in Ireland. It's a totally different experience to write a book and one I hope to repeat."
Friendship, diversity and inclusion are the themes Sean hopes younger readers will take from reading his book and provide them with the same enjoyment that the likes of the
Famous Five gave him as a child.
