Fast-paced, evocative, and brutal, The Cold Cold Ground is a brilliant depiction of Belfast at the height of the Troubles—and of a cop treading a thin, thin line—from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Adrian McKinty. "McKinty is one of the most striking and most memorable crime voices to emerge on the scene in years." —Tana French Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman's suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren't always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It's no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force. Add to this the fact that, as a Catholic policeman, it doesn't matter which side he's on, because nobody trusts him, and Sergeant Duffy really is in a no-win situation.

Biography/History:
ABOUT THE SEAN DUFFY SERIES Inspector Sean Duffy is a detective in the Royal Ulster Constabulary trying to solve ordinary homicides during the darkest days of the Troubles in 1980s Belfast. Daily bombings, riots, rocket attacks and a low level civil war are all in a days work for Duffy and his crew. As a Catholic, Duffy is considered to be a traitor by his coreligionists and the IRA has put a bounty on his head. His bosses view him with suspicion and they don't like the fact that he's a smart arsed, dope-smoking, coke taking, lippy hard-case who will stop at nothing to see justice done on the toughest beat in the world.
