Summary
A torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isn’t easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with detective constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim.
The torso turns out to be all that’s left of an American tourist who once served in the U.S. military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles? The trail leads to the doorstep of a beautiful, flame-haired, twentysomething widow, whose husband died at the hands of an IRA assassination team just a few months before. Suddenly Duffy is caught between his romantic instincts, gross professional misconduct, and powerful men he should know better than to mess with. These include British intelligence, the FBI, and local paramilitary death squads - enough to keep even the savviest detective busy. Duffy’s growing senseof self-doubt isn’t helping. But as a legendarily stubborn man, he doesn’t let that stop him from pursuing the case to its explosive conclusion.

Another great yarn
These are a series of stories set during the troubles but not about them - thank God! The narrator has a very dodgy "Nornirish" accent - more Dublin than Belfast (perhaps Jimmy Nesbitt for the next series?) but despite that, this is a great story which evokes memories of Belfast and especially Carrickfergus 30 odd years ago. The author has researched the book well and many of the characters remind me of some "peelers" of the time. I thoroughly enjoyed the first and look forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Yup, enjoyed this one
I enjoy UK regional crime dramas but this is my first visit to Ireland, it will not be my last. I have already begun looking for more offerings from Mr McKinty who has several books in this series. I hope the standard is maintained.
Interesting well draw characters involved in a realistic storyline. Add a touch of irish humour and an interesting music connection to a great narration and you have a very good listen.

Well constructed and narrated thriller.
Elegantly narrated, compelling mystery set against a backdrop of the troubles in Northern Ireland. Good central character and good series.

Gripping well paced listen
grounded in events that those brought up in the eighties will relate to, this tale of our imperfect hero is a page turning delight.

Brilliant
These Inspector Duffy Series, is a absolute must, set during the troubles in Northern Ireland in the early 80s. The narrator Gerald Doyle really does set the scene, Mr Doyle must be one of the best narrator in the business,I would start with book 1 and work your way through , totally engaging, the only disappointment is when you have to stop listening to the story, I don't usually do reviews but the Duffy series are brilliant

Just brilliant again!
Beautifully describes the northern Ireland of my childhood - bleak but with great humour. Great writing, fantastic narration.
