Book Description
A mysterious suicide and double murder are at the heart of this powerful thriller set in Northern Ireland amidst the Troubles, from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author Adrian McKinty “McKinty is in full command of language, plot, and setting in a terrifying period of history...” —Library Journal (starred review) Belfast, 1985. Amid the Troubles, Detective Sean Duffy, a Catholic cop in the Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary, struggles with burnout as he investigates a brutal double murder and suicide. Did Michael Kelly really shoot his parents at point-blank and then jump off a nearby cliff? A suicide note points to this conclusion, but Duffy suspects even more sinister circumstances. He soon discovers that Kelly was present at a decadent Oxford party where a cabinet minister's daughter died of a heroin overdose, which may or may not have something to do with Kelly's subsequent death. New evidence leads elsewhere: gun runners, arms dealers, the British government, and a rogue American agent with a fake identity. Duffy thinks he's getting somewhere when agents from MI5 show up at his doorstep and try to recruit him, thus taking him off the investigation. Duffy is in it up to his neck, doggedly pursuing a case that may finally prove his undoing.

Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
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.

"Elliot, we welcome you to the CIA." Agent Larson extends his hand. "My assistant Myra will be getting in touch with you on your travel and arrival procedures." Stop the bread truck. Again. "Travel procedures?" I ask. "You mean, I won't be working in my bedroom?" "No, Agent Larson says. "Working from a home base has the risk of being traced. You will need to travel to a remote location and perform the operation there so that there is no chance of this." "And where will that be?" I ask. "Europe." Suddenly, Spring Break just got a whole lot more interesting. Elliot Spence is an ordinary 6th grade kid that is used to blending into the background and not being noticed. After distorting a government website, the CIA comes knocking at his door. Instead of throwing him in prison, they recruit him for a top secret mission. Surrounded by a team of professional agents, Elliot takes off on a wild adventure to stop the evil Sergei Balmonvic from misusing stolen information. Along the way, though, Elliot learns the most important lesson of all-ordinary is extraordinary.
