The Making Of A Detective

When he retired in 2018 Pat Marry had been instrumental in solving dozens of serious crimes, including many murders.

But as a newly qualified garda in 1985, Marry had no idea how to become a detective. He soon realised he would have to learn on the job - put himself forward and show that he had what it took.

Taking initiative, following up hunches (even far-fetched ones), obsessing about details, trying new investigative techniques, thinking laterally - these were essential. In addition, you had to be a bit of a psychologist.

The Making of a Detective follows Pat Marry's path from rookie to Detective Inspector through the stories of key cases he worked on and investigations he led.

It includes high profile cases like Rachel Calally's murder by her husband Joe O'Reilly. But there are also stories that have faded from public memory, such as the 1995 murder of Marilyn Rynn, which involved the first use of DNA evidence to solve a crime in Ireland. Or the 2001 murder of Mary Gough, a case solved mainly by scrutinizing her husband's internet use - then a new investigative tool.

The Making of a Detective is a unique and gripping insight into the work of a dedicated garda operating at the very top of his profession.

Boyfriend loved it!
Size: One Size, Color: Brown
Opened it up and was very happy. The wallet is thick and sturdy but not stiff. It’s pretty soft to the touch, feels nice in your hands. It has a nice design, fits plenty of cards, cash, and whatever else you need to fit in a wallet honestly. My boyfriend immediately let me know he would be transferring his things to make it his main wallet.

Very well built, will last you a very long time
Style: Trifold, Style: Trifold
This wallet is very sturdy, and barely has any wear on it after I've purchased it over a year ago. Most wallets will start to greatly scuff, wear, or degrade/break down just from being taken in and out of your pocket but this wallet has held up particularly wear with VERY MINIMAL light scuffing. Quality leather so I know I will have this wallet for a very long time! It has great card holding capacity as i currently have about 10 cards in it and it still has a pretty slim profile. The wallet itself is a very nice, natural looking wallet. The ease of pulling cards in and out definitely has made me a fan.

Rugged, Stylish, and Built to Last
Style: Bi-fold
I bought this Carhartt oil-tan leather wallet for my husband, and it’s exactly what I hoped for. The leather feels thick and high quality, with that classic rugged Carhartt look. The stitching is solid, and it’s clear this wallet will hold up for years of daily use. It has plenty of card slots and an ID window, but still stays slim enough to fit comfortably in a back pocket. The canvas lining is a nice touch, and the embossed Carhartt logo adds just the right amount of style. It even came packaged in a collectible tin, which made it perfect for gifting. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a durable, functional, and great-looking wallet!
