It’s 1992 and Detective Sean Duffy is almost out of the game, ready for retirement and a fresh start in Scotland. But when an IRA hitman is himself hit, he’s dragged back to Northern Ireland, and a case which threatens the fragile peace process. A novel with a serious message, it’s the way it’s balanced with humour and heart via Duffy and his team that holds the attention.

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.
