Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly: A Detective Sean Duffy Novel

This gritty mystery that explores violent conflict in Northern Ireland during the 1980s is the sixth book in McKinty's series about the Irish "Troubles"; however, new readers can pick it up as a stand-alone. Perfect for Stuart Neville aficionados and police procedural buffs.

Rain Dogs

The violence of the Troubles is more in the background here than in McKinty's four award-winning previous series titles, and there are more details of Duffy's personal life. Still, it is a pleasure to be in the company of a master storyteller and stylist. McKinty uses some historical events as a basis for a strong moral point of view while still delivering a fine tale that should appeal to many levels of mystery fans.

Gun Street Girl: A Detective Sean Duffy Novel

This is McKinty's fourth Duffy outing, following the "Troubles Trilogy" that began with The Cold Cold Ground in 2012. Like the earlier tales, it mixes a mordant wit and casual, unpredictable violence that vividly portrays a turbulent time when Duffy, as a matter of routine, checks under his car for bombs. After a dozen novels, McKinty is in full command of language, plot, and setting in a terrifying period of history that sometimes seems forgotten. Fans of gritty Northern Irish crime writers such as Stuart Neville, Declan Hughes, and Brian McGilloway will enjoy this talented author.
