"Belfast, 1985, amidst the "Troubles": Detective Sean Duffy, a Catholic cop in the Protestant RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary), struggles with burn-out as he investigates a brutal double murder and suicide. Did Michael Kelly really shoot his parents at point blank 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. This 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 his undoing"--… (més)

This is my new favorite in the series, as I continue through my re-visit of it. In it, Sean Duffy deals with arms dealing, a double murder and possible suicide, questions about his future with the RUC, and a new recruit to CID. As usual, he gets himself into trouble and trouble also has a way of finding him. The ending comes with a bit of a twist, and the whole thing was just a great listen. ( )

Author's usual good plot and maudlin characters. Well narrated ( )

Inspector Sean Duffy’s latest case begins as a double murder, and is soon followed by more deaths. What appeared to be a straightforward case is (of course) anything but. Duffy and his colleagues find themselves working with MI5 and Special Branch, who are investigating potentially related matters.

Meanwhile, Duffy is trying to strike up a relationship with a news reporter. He is also being actively recruited by MI5, who are offering him a higher level post than anything he would ever achieve in the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Since Duffy is perpetually fed up with his chain of command this has some appeal, as does the woman recruiting him. And yet he also values his fellow investigators, including Lawson, a sharp new member of the force, and his long-time colleague McCrabban.

The investigation takes several turns, and like previous books the crime has links to actual historic events of the period (in this case, 1985). The final dramatic showdown coincides with equally dramatic events in Duffy’s personal life, and the question of joining MI5 is resolved … at least for now. ( )

I have read another book by this author but not in the Sean Duffy Series, this is an outstanding police procedural book. It takes place in Belfast circa 1985. A number of likable and believable characters, and a fantastic blending of actual events into the story. A great summer read. ( )

This series only gets better, it seems. This one was a bit more complex, but the same great mix of characters, background, humor, and story. And the same great narrator, Gerard Doyle. ( )
