The Cold Cold Ground (Sean Duffy Book 1)

Northern Ireland in the spring of 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer who likes opera, and a young woman’s suicide that might turn out to be murder. On the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it. It’s no easy job–especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force. As a Catholic policeman, nobody trusts the detective, and so he’s really in a no-win situation.

“This book is fast-paced, thought-provoking, and brutal. It’s a brilliant depiction of Belfast at the height of the Troubles — and of a cop walking a very thin line.”
