"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?

Detective Inspector Sean Duffy has a 15 year old girl he is trying to find. He uncovers an underground of men who seem to know her very well. Can he survive one last case before getting himself and his family out over the water? The writing of this book is well done with plenty of humor. Sean has moved his family to Scotland and will commute.

EadieB He'll take the ferry over and work 7 days a month in order to retire at 20 years with benefits. The plot is clever with terrific characters. If you like humor and wit with your mystery thriller then you will love this book. I'm now looking forward to the next Sean Duffy book. I hope we don't have to wait 6 years for that one! Highly recommend! 3mo

Andrew65 Good to have a new Sean Duffy novel, 6 years after the last one. Can‘t wait to read it. 1y
EadieB @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 I got declined for this one! 1y
Tove_Reads @EadieB I didn‘t even see it. Maybe it was never on the UK site. 1y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I‘ve not seen it either @Tove_Reads, but just checked and it‘s now on the U.K. site and can be requested now. Just done it, but not hopeful. 1y

This is all very confusing. Just checked GR and it seems the new books are published in German first.

Andrew65 Very very confusing. Simon Beckett is another, an English author who is even bigger in Germany. 4y
EadieB Can't understand this as he writes in English. Crazy! 4y
