Basic Info
Darren Darker was born in Dublin in 1971. He is the proud father of one son, Adam and lives in Bray in Co. Wicklow.
He is an avid reader since young age, where he would devour books into the early hours by Sven Hassell, Agatha Christie and anything else that he could get his hands on. Nowadays, along with a deep developing interest in Irish history, he is still reading vivaciously. Of which authors Henning Mankell, Lee Child, John Connolly, CS Samson and David Baldacci are just a few.
Along with being a Volunteer Fire Man and a Coxswain in a River and Inshore Rescue team in the Civil Defence for over four years, he worked part time for nearly seven years as a Doorman in various bars and niteclubs in Dublin and Bray. A job that he says helped him to understand people and gives him an insight into the seedy underbelly of Irish society. Perfect for any writer.
Amongst a number of professional qualifications, he holds a BA in Accountancy & HRM and currently owns, along with one of his oldest friends, a busy garage in Bray, Co. Wicklow.
Under an Irish Sky is his first novel in the John Morgan series.

It was November 1943 and a German Heinkel bomber limped over the Irish coastline. In high winds the pilots struggled valiantly to control the badly damaged plane but it was futile. Just as the plane crashed down onto Irish soil, a terrified Karl Muller looked back at the wooden box emblazoned with a swastika that was strapped down in the rear and wondered was it worth it?
John Morgan is an everyday Irish guy in his early thirties, who is has just lost his fiancée in a tragic accident. Unable to cope with her death, he leaves their Dublin house to stay in his aunt's holiday home in County Wexford to give himself the opportunity to re-build his life. In this idyllic seaside setting, not only does he find the peace that he is desperately seeking, he also finds new friends in the Muller's, the larger than life family who own the local hotel.
But one weekend all of their lives get turned upside down as Muller's past finally catches up with him in the most violent way possible. With the lives of Karl Muller's granddaughter and great grandson at risk from modern day neo-Nazi's they call on the only person that they trust to save them. But is Morgan already sixty years too late?
