The Cold Cold Ground, by Adrian McKinty

An Irish Catholic police inspector investigates murders during the Troubles in the 80s.


The Cold Cold Ground

Seventh Street Books, 2012, 320 pages



The Cold Cold Ground is the start of a major new series from Adrian McKinty, author of the acclaimed Falling Glass, Fifty Grand and the DEAD trilogy.

Featuring Catholic cop Sean Duffy whose outsider status in the mostly Protestant RUC makes it as hard to do his job as the criminals he’s fighting, this is the start of a new series set in Troubles-era Belfast. A body is found in a burnt out car. Another is discovered hanging from a tree. Could this be Northern Ireland’s first serial killer, or another paramilitary feud?


More Belfast noir.
