Northern
Ireland’s most charismatic detective inspector returns in the latest instalment
of Adrian McKinty’s Sean Duffy Thrillers It’s just the same things over and
again for Sean Duffy. Riot duty. Heartbreak. Cases he can solve but never get
to court. But what detective gets two locked room mysteries in one career? When
journalist Lily Bigelow is found dead in the courtyard of Carrickfergus castle,
it looks like a suicide. But there are just a few things that bother Duffy
enough to keep the case file open. Which is how he finds out that she was
working on a devastating investigation of corruption and abuse at the highest
levels of power in the UK and beyond. And so Duffy has two impossible problems
on his desk: who killed Lily Bigelow? And what were they trying to hide? Rain Dogs is by Adrian McKinty and is due to
be published in January 2016.
She Died Young is by Elizabeth Wilson
and is due to be published in March 2016.
The Cold War is in full swing but DCI McGovern has more domestic
concerns London, 1956. A young woman has been found dead in a hotel in King’s
Cross. Looks like an accident, and Scotland Yard’s not interested in accidents.
But Fleet Street journalist Gerry Blackstone thinks there’s more to it than
that. Meanwhile, Oxford is filling with Hungarian émigrés fleeing the failed
revolution. With the memories of Burgess and Maclean’s defection still raw,
Special Branch is concerned that there could be Soviet spies among the genuine
refugees and wants Jack McGovern on hand to keep an eye out. As McGovern
carries out his casework in Oxford and Blackstone investigates the King’s Cross
death in London, clues start to emerge that, somehow, the two cases might be
linked. And underneath everything, there might be something even more sinister
going on …
