Hang on St. Christopher is book 9 in Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy series. Duffy, a Belfast detective, is by turns bold, smart, and funny, but most of all, he is doggedly persistent.
Set in Northern Ireland during the violent times known as The Troubles, the story is clever and fast-paced, with one satisfying twist after another. It captured my attention from beginning to end.
