Summary
Belfast, 1985. Amid the Troubles, Detective Sean Duffy, a Catholic cop in the Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary, struggles with burnout as he investigates a brutal double murder and suicide. Did Michael Kelly really shoot his parents at point-blank range and then jump off a nearby cliff? A suicide note points to this conclusion, but Duffy suspects even more sinister circumstances. He soon discovers that Kelly was present at a decadent Oxford party where a cabinet minister's daughter died of a heroin overdose, which may or may not have something to do with Kelly's subsequent death.
New evidence leads elsewhere: gun runners, arms dealers, the British government, and a rogue American agent with a fake identity. Duffy thinks he's getting somewhere when agents from MI5 show up at his doorstep and try to recruit him, thus taking him off the investigation.
Duffy is in it up to his neck, doggedly pursuing a case that may finally prove to be his undoing.

Critic reviews
- Shortlisted for the 2016 Audie Award (Best Mystery) and the 2016 Edgar Award (Best Pbk Original)
"When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty forged the path the rest of us follow. The Sean Duffy series is the culmination of a career spent examining our darkest moments, and McKinty is the only crime writer who can do justice to our singular history." (Stuart Neville, author of The Final Silence)
"Series fans will appreciate the further insight into the fallout from tragic cases, department politics, and war. As usual, there's plenty of entertaining territorial battling between the dizzying array of law-enforcement agencies acting in Belfast, and Duffy's investigative skills seem somehow sharpened by his lost hope." (Booklist)
"Gerard Doyle gives a stunning narration of the fourth installment of McKinty's Detective Sean Duffy series.... From the subtle changes in dialect to McKinty's distinct writing cadence and dark humor, Doyle hones in on the details that make this procedural a joy to listen to." (AudioFile)

Very clever, idiosyncratic, funny, naughty. Very Irish
The series is a bit formulaic but it’s a winning formula
At once comic, dramatic, tragic and melodramatic it all somehow rings true to place and time. Brilliant stuff. Some of the narrators accents are a bit dodgy, but he’s solid on home ground Ulster.

As always the Sean Duffy books are a good listen
I found this book to be really interesting and a good view of a certain period of time in Northern Ireland. If you like the other Sean Duffy books you will love this one to

Odd mistakes
The story and narration is as good as ever . . . apart from some clumsy mistakes, presumably by the narrator. Duffy’s rank varies between Sergeant and Chief Inspector. And when Duffy et al drive to see Connelly they set off in a police Land Rover and arrive in Duffy’s BMW. Irritating.
