McKinty's second Sean Duffy thriller (after The Cold Cold Ground) establishes his place in the latest generation of Irish crime writers to take the genre by storm. The bleak and almost desperate conditions of 1982 Belfast and rural Northern Ireland are presented in a fashion that make the setting an equal character in this murder mystery in which a torso is found in a suitcase. Duffy just has a single clue—a tattoo—to go on to establish the torso's identity and solve the crime and must deal with interference from everyone from the IRA to the local gentry before he can get the job done. The twists of the case are brilliant, the characters complex. The rich Irish brogue of Gerard Doyle is magnificent but not overwhelming to American listeners.
VERDICT Highly recommended.
