About this listen

“Adrian McKinty is a gifted storyteller I love to read, and Sean Duffy is a character you will never forget.”Don Winslow, #1 internationally bestselling author

From New York Times bestselling author Adrian McKinty comes the next thrilling mystery in the Edgar Award-winning Sean Duffy detective series

Slamming the door on the hellscape of 1980s Belfast, Detective Inspector Sean Duffy hopes that the 1990s are going to be better for him and the people of Northern Ireland. As a Catholic cop in the mainly Protestant RUC he still has a target on his back, and with a steady girlfriend and a child the stakes couldn’t be higher.

After handling a mercurial triple agent and surviving the riots and bombings and assassination attempts, all Duffy wants to do now is live. But in his final days in charge of Carrickfergus CID, a missing persons report captures his attention. A fifteen-year-old traveler girl has disappeared and no one seems to give a damn about it. Duffy begins to dig and uncovers a disturbing underground of men who seem to know her very well. The deeper he digs the more sinister it all gets. Is finding out the truth worth it if DI Duffy is going to get himself and his colleagues killed? Can he survive one last case before getting himself and his family out over the water?

These plots just keep getting better and better. The reader is consistently excellent. Story races along at a good pace and we’re kept guessing to the end with several very plausible suspects. Loved everything about this book and can’t wait to see what’s next for Duffy & co as they all begin their next chapter.

Loved it, like all the previous ones. Looking forward to seeing more of the protagonist's psycho side coming out in the future. And perfect pairing with Gerard Butler narrating. Great stuff.

So clever and real Northern Ireland like!!!!

It has been a bit of a wait for this latest episode from Adrian and it was worth the wait. Excellent story telling, fast moving but with the characteristic tangents into music, poetry, philosophy, mythology, and the odd album cover. I especially love the dry humour and the odd comment direct to the reader. Can’t recommend this book, this series, and all Mckinty’s work highly enough.

Another brilliant book in the Sean Duffy series
