About the Book

Belfast 1988: a man has been shot in the back with an arrow. It ain't Injuns and it isn't Robin Hood. But uncovering exactly who has done it will take Detective Inspector Sean Duffy down his most dangerous road yet, a road that leads to a lonely clearing on the high bog where three masked gunmen will force Duffy to dig his own grave. Hunted by forces unknown, threatened by Internal Affairs and with his relationship on the rocks, Duffy will need all his wits to get out of this investigation in one piece. Adrian McKinty's awards include: EDGAR AWARD WINNER SPINETINGLER AWARD WINNER NED KELLY AWARD BARRY AWARD WINNER STEEL DAGGER AWARD SHORTLISTED THEAKSTONS AWARD SHORTLISTED ANTHONY AWARD WINNER

Review :
Adrian McKinty right now: pace, engaging central character, sense of place and period, tight plotting Another cracker in this superior series A cracker An unforgettable title ... it perfectly sums up the paranoid atmosphere at Carrickfergus CID in the late 1980s. McKinty moves seamlessly between action and reflection, and his sardonic tone is a delight. Crime is the subject, but Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly will prove one of the best novels of any kind this year. The sixth in McKinty's increasingly impressive Duffy series ... most enjoyable ... a first-person tail of cheerfully grim fatalism and Prod-Taig banter, chock-a-block with cultural references. Praise for the Sean Duffy series: McKinty has all the virtues: smart dialogue, sharp plotting, sense of place, well-rounded characters and a nice line in what might be called cynical lyricism ... Gateway McKinty: you won't stop here The tension between McKinty's love of tight, formal puzzles and loose, riffing dialogue is what makes the Duffy novels such a joy A new Sean Duffy novel is always one of the highlights of a crime reader's year A treat and an education One of the great crime series ... Brilliant A classic plot with modern twists Adrian McKinty is one of the great storytellers writing crime fiction today. When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty forged the path the rest of us follow.
