New York Times Bestselling authorA torso in a suitcase looks like an impossible case, but Sean Duffy isnt easily deterred, especially when his floundering love life leaves him in need of a distraction. So with Detective Constables McCrabban and McBride, he goes to work identifying the victim. The torso turns out to be all thats left of an American tourist who once served in the US military. What was he doing in Northern Ireland in the midst of the 1982 Troubles? The trail leads to the doorstep of a beautiful, flame-haired, twentysomething widow, whose husband died at the hands of an IRA assassination team just a few months before. Suddenly Duffy is caught between his romantic instincts, gross professional misconduct, and powerful men he should know better than to mess with. These include British intelligence, the FBI, and local paramilitary death squads--enough to keep even the savviest detective busy. Duffys growing sense of self-doubt isnt helping. But as a legendarily stubborn man, he doesnt let that stop him from pursuing the case to its explosive conclusion. Review I Hear the Sirens in the Street blew my bloody doors off! --Ian Rankin, New York Times bestselling author Adrian McKinty has done it again. In the second episode of a promised trilogy on the exploits of Sean Duffy...he maintains the tension, the sense of period, and the quirks of character that made The Cold Cold Ground such a compelling read. --Irish Independent (Dublin) Adrian McKinty has the chops to do all manner of things with words, and in I Hear the Sirens in the Street he unleashes a strain of rough and visual, sly and lyric narrative prose in service of one hell of a story. Sean Duffy is a great creation, a figure of many parts, and the place comes alive. --Daniel Woodrell, author of Winters Bone About the Author Adrian McKinty was born and grew up in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
