Hennessey and Yellich

“Hennessey and Yellich” is a gritty crime fiction series by Peter Turnbull, blending hardboiled detective tropes with a darkly humorous, almost absurdist, sensibility. The novels follow the reluctant partnership of the cynical, aging detective Hennessey and the perpetually exasperated forensic scientist Yellich as they investigate bizarre and unsettling crimes in a rain-soaked, decaying city. Their unconventional methods and sharp, often uncomfortable, dialogue are at the core of the series’ distinctive appeal.
