Gun Street Girl - Softcover

Adrian McKinty was born in Northern Ireland and studied at Oxford University. His novel Dead I Well May Be was short-listed for the 2004 Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award. Its sequel, The Dead Yard, was selected as one of the twelve best novels of the year by Publishers Weekly, and Blackstone Audio's production won the 2007 Audie Award for Best Thriller/Suspense.

''This is McKinty's fourth Duffy outing, following the Troubles trilogy that began with The Cold Cold Ground in 2012. Like the earlier tales, it mixes a mordant wit and casual, unpredictable violence that vividly portrays a turbulent time when Duffy, as a matter of routine, checks under his car for bombs. After a dozen novels, McKinty is in full command of language, plot, and setting in a terrifying period of history that sometimes seems forgotten. Fans of gritty Northern Irish crime writers such as Stuart Neville, Declan Hughes, and Brian McGilloway will enjoy this talented author.'' --Library Journal (starred review)

''Royal Ulster Constabulary Inspector Sean Duffy returns in this follow-up to the Troubles trilogy. After a series of career-limiting turns, Duffy is struggling to find a path for himself where he'll make any kind of difference...As usual, there's plenty of entertaining territorial battling between the dizzying array of law-enforcement agencies acting in Belfast, and Duffy's investigative skills seem somehow sharpened by his lost hope.'' --Booklist (starred review)

''Gun Street Girl is great; I'm so glad that Adrian McKinty has given readers another novel starring Belfast cop Sean Duffy, whose earlier exploits were described in the terrific Troubles trilogy. Don't miss any of the four.'' --Nancy Pearl, NPR commentator and bestselling author of Book Lust
